Regarding the 1st issue, can't we use one of the optional command-line
parameters of pod2man (and probably pod2html)?

Regarding the 2nd issue, updating the perl script can't be that
difficult I guess.

Olivier

| Hello,
|
| There's 2 small issues with ethereal man page:
|
| 1. Since now ethereal.1 is made from pod2man
$(srcdir)/ethereal-tmp.pod, the man title
|    now displays "ETHEREAL-TMP 1" instead of "ETHEREAL 1":
|
| man ethereal | head
| ETHEREAL-TMP(1)          The Ethereal Network Analyzer
ETHEREAL-TMP(1)

<snip>

| 2. Since make-authors-short.pl is making AUTHORS-SHORT with all
lines starting without
|    space or tab, pod is treating the paragraphs as `Ordinary
Paragraph' instead of
|    `Verbatim Paragraph' [check man perlpod] and misaligning:
|
