See above. Even if the &nbsp may be inteded to form a gap between the
columns, I don't unterstand why these (and the other columns) are
embedded in an paragraph.

Argh, such constructs are really hard to find :-(

Can <printshort> tags import such unparagraphed text?

Yes, please.

You are right, I used version 2.5.1.

Now I tried again, using version 2.7.1, and the unmodified 
sample-project.xml crashes with exception: Unable to open file 
"dglobals.xml" :-(

It's not really nice when fpdoc crashes with unhandled exceptions,
instead of skipping missing or invalid files.

Can somebody supply a working test project?

Sorry, the fpdoc internal structure is so obscure, I have no idea where
to start with modifications :-(
