The summarized answer is : use markdown

cljdoc might eventually support plain text with a fixed width font but I think markdown is preferable and so it’s not a very high priority at this point

Do you mean markdown within the docstring?

ie I should be formatting those list items with - or * (or whatever the MD symbol for list items is)?

I’ll give that a go. Thanks!

Yes exactly :) you can also use backticks :options to better highlight the option name
