The way I do it is very similar to yours except that I use "^p" to
represent paragraph marks (it's in the documentation). I also replace
all single returns with " " (space). However, I have sometimes had
problems with the third step, replacing all "**" with "^p^p". If I
close the file and reopen it I don't have any problem.
