+<p>usage: argparse-html.py [-h] [-a ARG_A] [-b PARAM_B] [-v] [-d] [-c]
+                        [--html-usage] [--html-usage-raw]
+
+</p><p>This script demonstrates how to automatically convert argparse
+    output to HTML. See also the class HTMLFormatter.
+</p>
+<p>    It's a hack. It does not produce a very clean HTML (there's an
+    extra '</ul>, for instance). But it's good enough for me. An empty
+    (or spaces-only) line is considered as a paragraph separator.
+</p>
+<p>    I needed to produce HTML as a single line and thus this is the
+    default output. This is not part of the class and can be easily
+    changed in the wrapper function html_usage().</p></ul>
+<p>optional arguments</p>
+<ul>
+<li>  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+</li><li>  -a ARG_A, --arg-a ARG_A
+                        Set value of A. Default: 1.1.
+</li><li>  -b PARAM_B, --param-b PARAM_B
+                        Set value of B. Default: 2.
+</li><li>  -v, --verbose         Be verbose
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>For Interactive Use</p>
+<ul>
+<li>  -d, --no-act          Do nothing. Just print what is to be run
+</li><li>  -c, --config          Do nothing. Just show configuration
+</li><li>  --html-usage          Do nothing. Format help as HTML (a single line)
+</li><li>  --html-usage-raw      If html-usage: don't squash HTML to a single line
+</li>
+</ul><p>Note that we use RawTextHelpFormatter as the parser, rather than
+    HelpFormatter itself. Otherwise splitting to paragarphs with empty
+    lines won't show up in the standard --help output.
+</p>
+<p>    If you have no problem with that, you can remove the formatter_class
+    parameter above.</p>
