Okay.

There's two approaches.

First you can just trust that pielrf does the right thing, and use the "--strip-html" command line switch. This will run pielrf as usual, and strip out any of the html it doesn't know.

The second is to use the striphtml utility before running pielrf. This will do the exact same thing as "--strip-html" but output another text file for you to look at / edit.

I prefer pre-stripping with striphtml and then editing that file and feeding it to pielrf. CLIT creates pretty complex HTML, and if you want to add the "<chapter>" tags, pre-stripping makes that a lot easier. It also allows you to clean up any HTML that striphtml didn't get rid of.
