Re: Fix for links to man pages with dots in their name

Hi Dima,
we're using a copy of the routines in the english version of freebsd.dsl
so I think that we can easily shift the blame :-)

Sorry, but there is a slight problem with your patch. If you take a look
at the HTML code it generates, you'll find:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tar&sektion=1

The & should be replaced by a literal &. Otherwise, man.cgi will ignore
the selection of the section. It seems to work until you have an URL for
a command that has manpages in different sections. You'll always get the
manpage for the first section.

The problem also exists in the English version of the FAQ.

Unfortunately, I do not know the language used for style sheets well enough
to suggest a fix.
