Description

Get-PSRuleHelp formatting suggestions

(1) Use an empty line between paragraphs.
Without this the result wall of text is too hard to read.

(2) Consider preserving markdown marks for strong, emphasis, and especially (!) inline code spans.
The target audience is often developers well familiar with markdown.
Preserving marks may be beneficial for perception of the details.

Alternatives

If the above suggestions are not acceptable as such, please add options enabling such features. Let this be up to users.

Done means the output is easier to read and the chosen behavior is covered by the relevant help functionality.
