description newline stripping about kong HOT 2 OPEN

Kong's help output is fed through Go's doc formatter. I think I did that primarily to support line wrapping and integration, but I do agree that makes it difficult to control the output.

I had a comment about Help() command methods, then deleted it because I thought it might be user error, but it seems still there.

Indenting lines with a few spaces seemed to get go to avoid doing further formatting. Is go's doc formatter markdown or something?

Anyway, my use case is I wanted to add a yaml snippet in the command help text (command takes a yaml file).

The normal behavior seems fine for most things, but a way to get out of it would be helpful for that. That said, I don't think I realized it was formatting it at all, so in my own use case I don't rely on the formatting currently.
