avoid markdown which the repl's :doc cannot handle
code blocks, if not surrounded by empty lines, have the language tags (in these cases, always `nix`) show up in the output of :doc. for example: nix-repl> :doc builtins.parseFlakeRef Synopsis: builtins.parseFlakeRef flake-ref Parse a flake reference, and return its exploded form. For example: nix builtins.parseFlakeRef "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/23.05?dir=lib" evaluates to: nix { dir = "lib"; owner = "NixOS"; ref = "23.05"; repo = "nixpkgs"; type = "github"; } is now instead: nix-repl> :doc builtins.parseFlakeRef Synopsis: builtins.parseFlakeRef flake-ref Parse a flake reference, and return its exploded form. For example: | builtins.parseFlakeRef "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/23.05?dir=lib" evaluates to: | { dir = "lib"; owner = "NixOS"; ref = "23.05"; repo = "nixpkgs"; type = "github"; } (closes #225) Change-Id: I0741aeb1006a5376bb2f663d202c7a4da7e38cce

*`derivation reference`* must be a string that may contain a regular store path to a derivation, or may be a placeholder reference. If the derivation is produced by a derivation, you must explicitly select `drv.outPath`.
This primop can be chained arbitrarily deeply.
For instance,
+
```nix
builtins.outputOf
(builtins.outputOf myDrv "out)
"out"
```
+
will return a placeholder for the output of the output of `myDrv`.
This primop corresponds to the `^` sigil for derivable paths, e.g. as part of installable syntax on the command line.
