+"""Wraps paragraphs of text, preserving manual formatting
+
+This is like fold(1), but has the special convention of not modifying lines
+that start with whitespace. This allows you to intersperse blocks with
+special formatting, like code blocks, with written prose. The prose will
+be wordwrapped, and the manual formatting will be preserved.
+
+ * This won't handle the case of a bulleted (or ordered) list specially, so
+   manual wrapping must be done.
+
+Occasionally it's useful to put something with explicit formatting that
+doesn't look at all like a block of text inline.
+
+  indicator = has_leading_whitespace(line);
+  if (indicator)
+    preserve_formatting(line);
+
+The intent is that this docstring would make it through the transform
+and still be legible and presented as it is in the source. If additional
+cases are handled, update this doc to describe the effect.
