Removed italics from the help command

#2263

[MarkKoz]

There are more uses of italics. Should these be removed too? We need to come to a consensus.

bot/bot/exts/info/help.py

Line 334 in 9b5f2f6

f"\n**`{PREFIX}{command.qualified_name}{signature}`**\n*{command.short_doc or 'No details provided'}*"

bot/bot/exts/info/help.py

Line 375 in 9b5f2f6

embed.description = f"**{cog.qualified_name}**\n*{cog.description}*"

bot/bot/exts/info/help.py

Line 415 in 9b5f2f6

description = f"**{category.name}**\n*{category.description}*"

There are also these, which are bold and italic

bot/bot/exts/info/help.py

Line 26 in 9b5f2f6

NOT_ALLOWED_TO_RUN_MESSAGE = "***You cannot run this command.***\n\n"

bot/bot/exts/info/help.py

Line 303 in 9b5f2f6

command_details += "***This command is disabled.***\n\n"

Should be changed

In these the title(or name) of the description uses bold which is fine by me, could remove the italics from their description if it is agreed upon:

• bot/bot/exts/info/help.py

  Line 415 in 9b5f2f6

  description = f"**{category.name}**\n*{category.description}*"

• bot/bot/exts/info/help.py

  Line 375 in 9b5f2f6

  embed.description = f"**{cog.qualified_name}**\n*{cog.description}*"

• bot/bot/exts/info/help.py

  Line 334 in 9b5f2f6

  f"\n**`{PREFIX}{command.qualified_name}{signature}`**\n*{command.short_doc or 'No details provided'}*"

Shouldn't be changed

I think in these it is fine to use both bold and italics:

• bot/bot/exts/info/help.py

  Line 26 in 9b5f2f6

  NOT_ALLOWED_TO_RUN_MESSAGE = "***You cannot run this command.***\n\n"

• bot/bot/exts/info/help.py

  Line 303 in 9b5f2f6

  command_details += "***This command is disabled.***\n\n"

@MarkKoz should I make another commit according to my comment I posted or should I wait until some further discussion?

It's up to you. But if you do, you may end up needing to revert some or all of it depending on the conclusion. If you provide pictures of each output that has/had italics, it would help gather opinions.

Line number edit	Before	After
Cog description #L375

Couldn't do this for the below because don't how to trigger these:

• bot/bot/exts/info/help.py

  Line 26 in 9b5f2f6

  NOT_ALLOWED_TO_RUN_MESSAGE = "***You cannot run this command.***\n\n"

• bot/bot/exts/info/help.py

  Line 303 in 9b5f2f6

  command_details += "***This command is disabled.***\n\n"

I think all the changes so far are improvements, I definitely think not being in italics makes reading longer text cleaner and easier.

RE the two that you couldn't trigger, I think they could be left as is and this changed to be italics:

bot/bot/pagination.py

Line 239 in dc9cb79

lines.append("(nothing to display)")

My reasoning being that these are all somewhat "meta", I also wouldn't mind just making none of them in italics. I'd like to get another opinion first either way though.

Having placeholder values like "nothing to display" in italics and the rest without makes sense to me

Thanks!
