r'''
Fix several issues in the Latex file.

Latex should be given as input. The following changes are made, and the
result is thrown in the standard output:

1. It removes \url{X} and converts it to X for all X that contain a
   dollar sign. Assumes \url{} doesn't cross line boundaries, which
   appears to be true.  If this is not done, some strange code appears
   inside the URLs (and it's also made a link, which doesn't make
   sense).

2. It formats notes, hints and tips the same as warnings. This is
   because warnings show in a box, which is nice, but the other
   admonitions only show with a top and bottom line, which can look
   confusing depending on where in the page it's shown.
