Would you accept a patch to add a parameter to control whether the funcsynsopsis as a whole is bold-ified? I think it actually looks better without, standards be damned! But, being inconsistent, I'm not sure I like having the indent changed by default just to avoid some whitespace, the three character indent itself looks rather "non-standard" - it doesn't have that authentic 70's "ye olde manpage" feel to it! :) Otherwise the snapshot (I'm using the one from the 15th) is producing great output for all of the pages I've checked. I like the change to turn off hyphenisation and justification by default, I've always thought they were ugly. Regards, joe
