Merge pull request #1921 from bfroehle/_1890_magic_arguments_docstring...
Merge pull request #1921 from bfroehle/_1890_magic_arguments_docstring magic_arguments: dedent but otherwise preserve indentation. Previously magic_arguments stripped all whitespace at the beginning of each line, interfering with formatting syntax which relies on indentation to give context (e.g., code blocks). Now the docstring text is passed through dedent to strip the global indentation before being handed off to `RawDescriptionHelpFormatter` which preserves any remaining indentation. Thanks to @rkern for suggesting the solution approach. Closes gh-1890.

----------
strng : str
Text to page.
start : int
Starting line at which to place the display.
html : str, optional
If given, an html string to send as well.

If true, the input string is assumed to be valid reStructuredText and is
converted to HTML with docutils. Note that if docutils is not found,
this option is silently ignored.

Only one of the ``html`` and ``auto_html`` options can be given, not
both.
