Yes, I think so. Probably since gretl 2023b the "truly plain text"
help for some function packages has been misidentified as markdown due
to use of a too-simple heuristic, and that can lead to mangling of
plain text in which spaces and newlines are used for formatting.
I believe there are 10 affected packages, out of the 168 packages
currently on the server. This is now fixed (or at least mostly fixed,
there may be a little more to be done) in git and snapshots.
