I have looked at it a bit and it's messy code IMHO. Might be easier/better just to rewrite the function (comment) header parsing. Andrew also wants the short function description to be able to be more than one line. That could/should be incorporated at the same time. OTOH, it's a defined doc. language and these files contain errors... --- ~Randy PS: finally fixed Ingo's email address.
