 \begin{funcdesc}{float}{\optional{x}}
   Convert a string or a number to floating point.  If the argument is a
   string, it must contain a possibly signed decimal or floating point
-  number, possibly embedded in whitespace; this behaves identical to
-  \code{string.atof(\var{x})}.  Otherwise, the argument may be a plain
+  number, possibly embedded in whitespace. Otherwise, the argument may be a plain
   or long integer or a floating point number, and a floating point
   number with the same value (within Python's floating point
   precision) is returned.  If no argument is given, returns \code{0.0}.
