61188cb820 move final template to the top
this allows readers to enter the code starting with what is visible from
the outside, instead of working themselves up from purely technical details.

e7dcacbd7c do not render relative links in help pages
this simplifies the setup a lot, and avoids weird looking `./file.md`
links showing up.

it also does not show regular URLs any more. currently the command
reference only has few of them, and not showing them in the offline
documentation is hopefully not a big deal.

instead of building more special-case solutions, clumsily preprocessing
the input, or issuing verbal rules on dealing with URLs, should better
be solved sustainably by not rendering relative links in `lowdown`:

c3c858ac6d Make doc() return arbitrary Markdown rather than the contents of the "Description" section
Thus we can return the examples section (and any other sections) from
doc() and don't need examples() anymore.
