Research direction

Reproduce the documentation display issue on Windows 10 with Python 3.8.3 using cmd.exe, PowerShell, and Windows Terminal. Trace the documentation output path to determine where carriage returns become visible as ^M. Done means line returns render normally in the affected consoles without changing other documentation output.
