In case you or anyone else reading is interested, the tutorial HTML and
PDF files are  generated from the LaTeX file Doc/Tutorial.tex in the
Biopython source code:
https://github.com/biopython/biopython/blob/master/Doc/Tutorial.tex

LaTeX is an old markup language which is still very popular in the
areas of mathematics and physics because of its excellent formula
support. See http://www.latex-project.org/ for background.

I think colors and special fonts in HTML emails may get turned
into plain text by the mailing list. But I understood.

This is in the Pubmed and Medline parsing example from the Entrez
chapter, and yes, you are quite right. Fixed:

Thank you,
