    #
    # Format text as Markdown element $1
    #
    # Usage:
    #     mdfmt [-n|--nest LEVEL] [-q|--quote] ELEM FRAG [FRAG..]
    #
    # Take text passed as one or more FRAGs and output it formatted in
    # Markdown as ELEM.  Passing higher LEVEL than previous item causes
    # items to nest.
    #
    # When multiple FRAGs are provided, the text is simply joined together
    # (and in most cases re-formatted to fit $MDFMT_WIDTH).  This allows
    # you to pass long texts and keep your code tidy by breaking the text
    # into several pieces and using line continuation character `\`.
    #
    # Additional character-level formatting is achieved using standard
    # Markdown motation, i.e. asterisk for emphasis, double asterisk
    # for strong emphasis and backtick for verbatim text.
    #
    # Options:
    #
    #   * `-n LEVEL`, `--nest LEVEL`  Causes item to be indented so that
    #     it will be nested into the previous item, if the LEVEL is higher
    #     than the previous one.  Default value is zero.
    #
    #     This can be used to e.g. include unordered items or code examples
    #     inside ordered items, or multiple paragraphs per (un)ordered
    #     item.
    #
    #   * `-q`, `--quote`  Causes item to appear blockquoted.
    #
    # Following values are available for ELEM (names are inspired by
    # HTML elements):
    #
    #  *  `h1`, `h2`, `h3`  - headings of respective weight. Ignores
    #     nesting.   Accepts only single FRAG.
    #
    #  *  `p` - a paragraph.
    #
    #  *  `ul`, `ol` - unordered list item (bullet) or ordered (numbered)
    #     list item.
    #
    #  *  `pre` - pre-formatted code.  Multiple FRAGs are treated as lines
    #     and spaces are preserved.
