Our current handling of formatting/markup (HTML, odt, docx, latex) is brittle, requiring transfer rules to explicitly deal with blanks (e.g. markup), and sometimes inevitably outputting them in the wrong order. This project is to implement automatic blank-handling, by treating some blanks as "glued to words" (e.g. italics, emphasis), and others as paragraph-level blanks.
