Re: Behaviour change in docbook reader

[John MacFarlane <fiddlosopher-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

With the changelog getting to be book-sized, it’s a big undertaking to look at all the docbook changes since then.
A cleaner approach would be to do a git diff on src/Text/Pandoc/Readers/DocBook.hs from 2.7.3 tag to 2.19.2.

Anyway, a Lua filter to change the 2.19.2 result to the 2.7.3 result should be quite trivial to write (3-4 lines).

After that, the conversion results from docbook to docx were different (granted, I am aware it's a huge version change). Tracing this, I found one tangible example that seems to occur in the docbook reader: A <note> element was previously put into a blockquote pandoc object, now it is a div with an identifying class.
