I've looked at the click docs and I see that text from docstrings is wrapped and filled as is the text > """\ > The GNU Mailman mailing list management system > Copyright 1998-2017 by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. > http://www.list.org > """ which wraps and fills as above, nd there is even a control to turn that off paragraph by paragraph, but the 'help=' text for an option doesn't seem to be handled that way. A possible workaround is to replace things like > help=_("""\ > Configuration file to use. If not given, the environment variable > MAILMAN_CONFIG_FILE is consulted and used if set. If neither are given, a > default configuration file is loaded.""")) with > help=_( > 'Configuration file to use. If not given, the environment variable ' > 'MAILMAN_CONFIG_FILE is consulted and used if set. If neither are given, > ' > 'a default configuration file is loaded.'))
