Example
Given the examples module:
terraform-docs xml --footer-from footer.md ./examples/
generates the following output:
<module>
<header>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"]

 tags = {
 Name = "baz"
 Created-By = "first.last@email.com"
 Date-Created = "20180101"
 }
}
```

Here is some trailing text after code block,
followed by another line of text.
