[Koha-translate] Translation very difficult if use some tags among text paragraph in html

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Hector,

I know exactly what you talk about - it's often really hard to make
sense of those sentences that have been split by a <b> tag, a link or
similar.

I am not sure we can totally avoid these constructs, but it's certainly
something to keep in mind that can help make life easier for translators.

I'd love if we could find a way to parse those constructs better, so
they can be translated as one string/entry.
