I'm trying to improve the readability of the --help output from difftastic. I'm experimenting with making example invocations bold, so they are easier to distinguish from the text. I'm also trying OSC 8 to make my URLs clickable. Opinions welcome :)

Trying the nix CLI today, and I'm seriously impressed with the formatting of its --help output. Indented warnings, italics, bullets, even adding a left border to code snippets! It's a nice reminder to take full advantage of terminal features to help the reader.
