Hugo Osvaldo Barrera 7110401595 docs: Fix messed up highlighting
This just affects how it's rendered; rather than attempting to highlight
these blocks as a shell script, they'll get highlighted as console
output.

See the rendered versions for a better comparison.

For more on creating a custom subcommand, see the cargo book. The crate clap-cargo can help in mimicking cargo's interface.

The help looks like:

$ cargo-example-derive --help
cargo 

USAGE:
    cargo <SUBCOMMAND>

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help    Print help information

SUBCOMMANDS:
    example-derive    A simple to use, efficient, and full-featured Command Line Argument Parser
    help              Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

$ cargo-example-derive example-derive --help
cargo-example-derive [..]
A simple to use, efficient, and full-featured Command Line Argument Parser

USAGE:
    cargo example-derive [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help                             Print help information
        --manifest-path <MANIFEST_PATH>    
    -V, --version                          Print version information

Then to directly invoke the command, run:

$ cargo-example-derive example-derive
None

$ cargo-example-derive example-derive --manifest-path Cargo.toml
Some("Cargo.toml")
