Is there any kind of subset (common denominator) of markup rules that I can

Probably too early to tell, but... my main recommendation would be
to ensure that the lines of the help text are no longer than the
default width of the relevant gretl window in which it will be
displayed, so <= about 72 characters.
We'll need to return to the question of enhancing the means of
