Renders one top-level <para>’s mixed content into ordered text chunks.

Doxygen bundles a member’s free-flowing prose paragraphs together with structured sections (<simplesect>, <xrefsect>, <parameterlist>, <programlisting>) as siblings inside the SAME enclosing <para> – a naive element.findall(".//para") (matching at any depth) both loses each section’s own semantic label (Doxygen attaches it via a kind attribute or a separate <xreftitle> sibling element, not as part of the text itself) and re-visits each nested <para> a second time on top of the outer para’s own full-recursive itertext() – confirmed real via a real doxygen capture (DEL-B40): “This method is thread-safe.” and “BugKnown bug here.” (the xreftitle “Bug” glued directly onto its own description, no separating whitespace in the source XML) each appeared TWICE in the resulting docstring. docstring.

Returns:

Ordered text chunks: plain prose runs, and one already-labeled chunk
