-	* '''bold text''' the transformation of LaTeX to HTML transforms the environment ''textbf'' to <nowiki><span class="textbf"></span></nowiki>.

	*'''headers''' The top level header is always included with the process and it should be removed. Also, chapter numbers are imported, and they should be removed.
