   from descriptions.

Version 1.018		November 1, 1999

 * Recognise additional synopsis lines without requiring `or:' prefix.
 * Adjust option tagged paragraph matching so that the first option
   argument does not require an `='.

 * Allow --include to be used multiple times.
 * Include files may now contain `/pattern/' which will append the text
   following to any paragraph which matches the pattern.

 * Handle indenting/continuation of things which look like options
   separately.  This removes the requirement for 2+ spaces between
   option and description, allows the description to occur on the line
   below the option and relaxes the indent matching rules for continued
   lines.
