run_man2html currently uses man2html. On my system, thats currently man2html version 1.2. man2html 1.2 uses bold and italic by default. I didn't like the way it looked and added the arguments: -belem 'font color="cyan"' -uelem 'font color="yellow"' man2html 1.2 will generate headers by default, but I wanted more control so I added "-bare". By all means, go ahead and see what improvements you can make. -- Dan Espen 444 Hoes Lane Room RRC 1C-214 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Piscataway, NJ 08854 Phone: (732) 699-5570 -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
