This is inconsistent. The exception in the stack trace is from a
coding error in extractText. It looks like maybe ExtractText is
catching exceptions and printing them, and a bug in the exception
handling is causing the UnboundLocalError

If you look at a few more lines do you see anything untoward? Perhaps
there is a missing </b> before the <p>, for example? I don't think <p>
is allowed inside every tag.
