🧭 What and Why
This PR updates the guidelines for writing long descriptions.
Essentially, don't use Markdown in the first sentence/paragraph in the descriptions.
The Algolia CLI uses the Search API spec to generate flags from the API parameter/index settings. The help text is generated from the first sentence of the
description
key.It looks better on the command line if the help text doesn't contain Markdown.
For the most part, I already updated the specs with that in mind. There are some Markdown links, but they will be automatically removed when generating the flags and help text.
