Instead of encoding formatting information inside the
corresponding XSLT stylesheet, use a Python script to reformat
the text appropriately based on a few simple markers.
Splitting the task between the XSLT stylesheet and the Python
script allows us to keep both parts very simple.
---
Changes from v2:
* Python script
- Consider all unmarked text as verbatim
- Support new marker for description
- Remove redundancy
- Use print() instead of sys.stdout.write()
Changes from v1:
* Address review comments
- Avoid breaking 'make syntax-check'
