Just change the above sed script. Your problem seems due to the spaces
left before the .SH tags. Try the following patch.sed:
s/^\.YODLTAGSTART\./\.YYODLTAGSTART\./
s/\.YODLTAGSTART\./\r\.YODLTAGSTART\./g
s/ *\.YODLTAGSTART\. roffcmd //
s/\.YYODLTAGSTART\. roffcmd //
s/\.YODLTAGEND\.//
s/\n\.YYODLTAGSTART\..*//
You may also need to add a space before the \.YODLTAGEND\. pattern, but I
think that's not necessary.
HTH,
Igor
