Summary0001856: FLT_MIN formula is b^{e_{\min-1}} instead of b^{e_{\min}-1}
DescriptionThe FLT_MIN / DBL_MIN / LDBL_MIN formula has a typographic issue, making it meaningless: the "−1" is on the same line as "min" instead of the same line as "e_{\min}".
Desired ActionIn the FLT_MIN / DBL_MIN / LDBL_MIN formula, change

  b^{e_{\min-1}}

to

  b^{e_{\min}-1}

In the FLT_MIN_10_EXP formula there is a space in there:
b^{e_{\min }-1}

For consistency we should either include the space in FLT_MIN or remove it from FLT_MIN_10_EXP.
