The synopsis section is a bit messy. As an example, "uimage file name" is printed in italics, bold, and roman (depending on the line). This cleans things up and converts the synopsis section to use standard style. The .SY/.YS macros set up appropriate formatting for command synopsis sections (such as disabling hyphenation and setting a hanging indent). All parts of the synopsis now use the following style:
- Bold for parts of the command which should be typed in by the user (such as the program name and flags)
- Italic for parts which should be replaced (such as uimage-file-name)
- Roman for parts which should not be typed at all (such as brackets)
Multi-word variables now use hyphens to connect their words instead of spaces. This makes it clearer that all the words are part of the same variable. Additionally, "option ..." is used to denote where other options may be specified, as this appears to be standard style.
In addition to the above style changes, this also makes some changes to content. The use of the term "legacy" has been removed, since this simply refers to any non-FIT image type. Additionally, wording like "uimage file name" has been replaced with "image-file-name" to better reflect that images may or may not be uImages. Lastly, the "auto" value for -f is documented in the synopsis.
