>Description:
	Three-word titles, like "INTRODUCTION TO USB" in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=usb&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+4.10-RELEASE & PRINCIPLES of OPERATION in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=polling&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+4.10-RELEASE are inconsistently displayed.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	Under 4.10-STABLE, "man usb polling", and compare against the above URLs.

	In the USB web page, " USB" is not blue underlined to match "INTRODUCTION TO", which is. In the source, the b & a close tags are after OF, rather than OPERATION.

	In the polling web page, " OPERATION" is not blue underined, while "PRINCIPLES OF" is. Interestingly, "Principles of Operation" is mixed-case and indented one level in the man command itself, while its boldface and flush left on the web.

	Presumably this is a problem with man.cgi, although I suppose it could be triggered by odd markup in the source.
	
>Fix:
	I don't know, but presumably the heading code in man.cgi needs a little TLC.
