Description
New Issue Checklist

Issue Description
Command line help (from parse-server --help) has HTML formatting (eg. <br>) in it.
Steps to reproduce
Run parse-server --help
Actual Outcome
This, and several more:
--directAccess [directAccess] Set to `true` if Parse requests within the same Node.js environment as Parse Server should be routed to Parse Server directly instead of via the HTTP interface.
Default is `false`.<br><br>If set to `false` then Parse requests within the same Node.js environment as Parse Server are executed as HTTP requests sent to Parse
Server via the `serverURL`.\
Expected Outcome
Not to have HTML formatting in CLI console output. Maybe a \n?
