Comment (by glynn):

 Replying to [comment:5 hamish]:

 errors) in devbr6 and trunk in r37877, ..

 The changes are meaningless; g.html2man.py discards all comments.

 To get a suitable whatis entry, the HTML file needs to include a
 {{{<h2>NAME</h2>}}} section containing the module name followed by a dash
 then the description. This is added automatically by --html-description,
 but non-module pages will need to have it added manually.
