Thank you for your work. I generated a new patch that includes all your
suggestions and also fixes the build problems.

Yes, this only occurs when the <listitem> content is not surrounded by
<para></para>. I fixed that. I also changed the whole thing from
"article" to "book" as all the other *.tmpl files are books.

uio_cif.c and don't want to encourage other people to write the same nonsense.
Here's my patch, as I said, it should include your fixes as well:
