fix(*): fixes malformed HTML coming from xsweet

Dan Visel requested to merge xsweet-problematic-symptom-fix into main

This is to deal with what's described in the comments of #1023 (closed). Sometimes XSweet is turning math, which should look something like this:

<p><math-display>...math...</math-display></p>

to this:

<h4><h4><math-display>...math...</math-display></h4></h4>

If that's not invalid HTML, it's not quite sensical, and it breaks further parsing – so the math tags get thrown away. What this fix does is to replace <h4><h4> and </h4></h4> with <p> and </p> respectively; with this in place, parsing works normally.

However! This is basically plastering over a problem that's coming from XSweet. I don't know why we're getting the nested <h4>s; I don't know if they're always <h4>s. If there's a way to fix this problem on that end, that would be a greatly superior solution.
