Hi Viktor,
a cursory inspection of the HTML output
shows something isn't quite right. There's a strange character in the
section headings (after the section number).
eg. It looks like "1.,Name" instead of "1. Name".
I can't reproduce this. It seems to be a , which should be alright.
Something weird is happening & I can't work out what's causing it.

On my browser I'm seeing a strange character after the section number.
I think I know what's happening here:
At some point in the process bewtween the generation and the upload to
fvwm-web the entities are expanded to real hard blankspaces in
latin-1 encoding. THis encoding is specified in the html header page,
however the server specifies the encoding as utf-8 when it serves the
page, and that overrides the meta tags. latin-1 hard bankspaces are
treated as utf-8, which happens to be an invalid utf-8 sequence, and thus
most browsers renders some kind of question mark.
Yet the file I uploaded (to fvwm-web) renders ok.
ie. file:///home/ss/fvwm/fvwm-web/doc/unstable/fvwm/fvwm.man.html
Which is beacause the browser then selects the encoding from the header.
