        I'm not sure what you're doing with the texts and why they've to
change, but before you end up with a lot of code which handles 1001 special
cases, it's perhaps a good idea to look into creating a proper parser for your
task so you can define what to convert with a set of rules (grammar) so it's
better maintainable. 

        Of course, if the set of tasks to be done on the text is small and the
tasks are very straightforward, no problem, otherwise I'd opt for a parser.
