Description

<para> and hence its parent <listitem> are empty in the below example. Leaving this here as something that stood out to me. Not sure if we need a RemoveEmptyElementsFixer or something.

Current result:

  <varlistentry xml:id="constant.f-dupfd">
   <term>
    <constant>F_DUPFD</constant>
    (<type>int</type>)
   </term>
   <listitem>
-    <para></para>
+    <simpara></simpara>
   </listitem>
  </varlistentry>
