In my patch, I had created a new manual page. On the manual page’s title line, I had written the title of my new page in all caps because man-pages(7) said that I should write it that way. It turns out that man-pages(7) was wrong and that the title on the title line should have matched the title in the manual page’s filename [1][2]. This commit corrects man-pages(7) so that it does not tell contributors to use all caps when writing titles on title lines.
