In-Reply-To
<pull.1933.v3.git.1751914412.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: =?UTF-8?q?Jean-No=C3=ABl=20Avila?= <jn.avila@free.fr>
  format placeholders in italics and keywords in monospace
- Use _<placeholder>_ instead of <placeholder> in the description
- Use `backticks` for keywords and more complex option
descriptions. The new rendering engine will apply synopsis rules to
these spans.
