Michael Kerrisk 5895e7eb8d wspace in SYNOPSIS 2007-12-23 13:45:24 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 009df872f7 Format casts so that there is a non-breaking space after the 
type, and remove unnecessary parentheses around the casted value.
Thus, for example, the following:

     .IR "(size_t) (\-1)" .

becomes:
    .IR "(size_t)\ \-1" .
