Unfortunately the help text is formatted using textwrap, which presumes

splits the text on "\n\n", textwraps the split string individually, then
re-joins them. _format_text() and format_option() look like the methods
that would need replacing.
Thanks a lot. Good to know, that there are options, though a little more
complicated than expected.
Just in case you want it:

it's come up several times and several years ago I hacked
