I also don't understand why I constantly find such coarse errors everytime
I dive into fpdoc. As said, I don't understand how Michael managed to
generate the 2.6.2 output (which generally looks fine)

The html output is much richer though than the Latex output (and afaik also
the IPF one the last time I checked).  

The above shortdescrs are the texts after links in the see also section btw,
and also used in other places.

No. I still had problems later, and worked around it in the backend, by
checking every use of  xxx.interfacesection with assigned() first.
