This rst is mainly autogenerated, and hence a bit ugly.

This particular example doesn't seem too hard to fix; try replacing the
relevant bit of notmuch.rst with


Supported global options for \ **notmuch**\  include

  \ --help
    Print a synopsis of available commands and exit.

  \ --version
    Print the installed version of notmuch, and exit.

  \ --config=FILE
    Specify the configuration file to use. This overrides any
    configuration file specified by ${NOTMUCH_CONFIG}.

or

Supported global options for \ **notmuch**\  include

--help         Print a synopsis of available commands and exit.

--version      Print the installed version of notmuch, and exit.

--config=FILE  Specify the configuration file to use. This overrides any
               configuration file specified by ${NOTMUCH_CONFIG}.

--help    Print a synopsis of available commands and exit.


The latter is an "option list" [1], so I guess is the most official way
to do it.

The former is a more generic "definition list"
