Yes, that picks up the lot. Many thanks.

One oddity - the string it returns appears to wrapped in some extra
characters. I haven't examined them too closely, but it looks as though it
has a \n and several spaces at the front, and some spaces followed by another
\n at the back. This appears only to happen when there is a child embedded in
the text.

I can probably/possibly trim these out, but it would be better to avoid them
somehow.
