Validation errors in template filters/tags documentation

Description

The documentation pages in the built in admin have swathes of HTML validation errors mainly involving nested p tags. These occur in the template tags/filters and views pages. This is probably due to idiosyncratic docstring->html parsing.

There are also some unescaped href attributes on the bookmarklets page due to the killer javascript-fu.

Has patch: set

This should fix most of them. The 5 outstanding errors should clear up once #3696 and #3695 are sorted out.

For the record, most of the errors were due to the use of <p>{{ some_var }}</p> - ReST automatically adds <p> tag anyway, so we were ending up with <p><p>...</p></p>. I've fixed this by just doing {{ some_var }} .

The next problem was related to this - ReST was generating <p> tags around things which we were putting into header tags. I've used the removetags filter to strip any <p>'s from header tags to stop this. It's likely that this could be replaced with striptags instead to remove all other html tags in the headers.

Finally, I've escaped a few variables that should have been escaped (mainly things which haven't gone through ReST like tag names,etc).

... and for the record, the bookmarklets page validates quite happily, so this must have been fixed previously.

Patch needs improvement: set

The patch needs significant updating, due to autoescape and possibly other changes.
