+# Description: Handle problems encountered with docutils 0.6.
+#  The problem here is that the child.data element does not always exist any
+#  more.  Apparently, the child element is sometimes a string instead.  So, we
+#  work around it by only executing the code in question if child.data can be
+#  referenced. Thanks to Thomas Hille for research and the initial patch.
