Research direction
Open README.md and inspect the "Recoded Format" table. Correct the mantissa representation to 23 binary bits, add the maximum subnormal and minimum normal rows, and verify that the existing special-case rows remain accurate.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The Recoded Format table shows the mantissas as hex digits, with "f", but should be binary with only 0 or 1 (should be 23 bits, not 23 hex digits).
Also, it would be nice to show "maximum subnormal" (IEEE s 00000000 11111111111111111111111) and "minimum normal" (IEEE s 00000001 00000000000000000000000) in the table. The other interesting cases (zero, minimum subnormal, maximum normal, infinity, NaN) are shown.
