I'm not sure what the idea behind the indentation is supposed to be, but as it is, pretty much the whole file gets included in the whatis index. This is presumably because all the other sections -- "Description" etc -- are considered subsections of "Name". Because I think it makes sense for most of them to be subsections of "Descriptions", I think my described change is probably the "right" one. Or have I, perhaps, missed something? If I'm right, this is so obvious that I'm surprised no one else had complained before. >How-To-Repeat: apropos configuration will include among its output virtually the whole mtools man page >Fix: --- ./mtools.5.orig Mon May 17 17:07:07 1999 +++ ./mtools.5 Mon May 17 17:07:22 1999 @@ -20,3 +20,3 @@ .PP -.SS Description +.SH Description .PP >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
