[Xerte] Re: quick question re bullets page with new editor

[Tom Reijnders]

I fixed it, by recognising <p> in the model. custom tags is not really a 
solution, because that's difficult for the user!

Issue #216 is slightly different. Can't get the to work yet. Not in the 
old editor, not in the new.
