WoMan generates different result from man? |

Hi all,
I am using `WoMan' other than man to read manpages. But I find there
are some slight differences when reading the content. Take the
manpage of `man' as an example:
WoMan parses the result of the section number introduction like this:
1@Executable programs or shell commands
2@System calls (functions provided by the kernel)
3@Library calls (functions within program libraries)
4@Special files (usually found in /dev)
5@File formats and conventions eg /etc/passwd
6@Games
7@Miscellaneous (including macro packages and conventions), e.g. man(7),
groff(7)
8@System administration commands (usually only for root)
9@Kernel routines [Non standard]
While the result generates by `man' does have `@' but spaces ` ',
just as follows:
1 Executable programs or shell commands
2 System calls (functions provided by the kernel)
3 Library calls (functions within program libraries)
4 Special files (usually found in /dev)
5 File formats and conventions eg /etc/passwd
6 Games
7 Miscellaneous (including macro packages and conventions), e.g.
man(7),
groff(7)
8 System administration commands (usually only for root)
9 Kernel routines [Non standard]
The margin in WoMan also seems a little odd.
So is this a known issue?
Thanks!
