# partparse.py: parse a by-Guido-written-and-by-Jan-Hein-edited LaTeX file,
#     and generate texinfo source.
#
# This is *not* a good example of good programming practices. In fact, this
#     file could use a complete rewrite, in order to become faster, more
#     easy extensible and maintainable.
#
# However, I added some comments on a few places for the pityful person who
#     would ever need to take a look into this file.
#
# Have I been clear enough??
