[PATCH 41/43] man/infocmp.1m: Revise synopsis.


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [PATCH 41/43] man/infocmp.1m: Revise synopsis.
Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2024 09:19:25 -0500

* Use `HP` macro to achieve hanging indentation.  This doesn't help with
  adjustment, though.  I hope one day to persuade Thomas to port in
  groff's `SY` and `YS` macros, now 15 years old, and which, in groff
  1.24, will also support C-style function synopses (and are a bit more
  flexible even than that).
* Favor man(7) font style macros over *roff font selection escape
  sequences.
* Set "subset" option argument in italics, not bold.
* Use unbreakable space between an option and its argument.
