Example
Given the examples module:
terraform-docs asciidoc document --footer-from footer.md ./examples/
generates the following output:
Usage:
Example of 'foo_bar' module in `foo_bar.tf`.
- list item 1
- list item 2
Even inline **formatting** in _here_ is possible.
and some [link](https://domain.com/)
* list item 3
* list item 4
```hcl
module "foo_bar" {
source = "github.com/foo/bar"
id = "1234567890"
name = "baz"
zones = ["us-east-1", "us-west-1"]
