Description

The help goal is currently eating up all line breaks which makes something like

Line of text here.<br>
Another line, introducing some properties snippet:
<pre>
# this is some property that does intersting things
my.very.cool.property=value
</pre>

not really human-readable upon ouput by the help goal.

We should

• output line breaks for every <br> and <p> element
• output line breaks for every literal line break from a <pre> block.
