To convert LaTeX to XML, the first stage is to tag the matching
braces, so I go through and convert (say)

   \chapter{Now I'm \emph{really} mad}

to
   \chapter{:1:Now I'm \emph{:2:really}:2: mad}:1:

Then I can process structures depth first and perform the
translation. However, there are many special cases, and it looks as if 
a couple got through the net. Thanks for pointing them out--I'll see
what I can do to fix them.
