CLI sub-commands help text is truncated

[cmpadden]

Problem

I am noticing the help text for commands are being truncated, see screenshot below:

Reason

The command.get_short_help_str() method is used to generate help strings for in the _format_subcommand function.

• sphinx_click/ext.py#L288

This methods defaults to truncating at limit=45: get_short_help_str(limit=45):

• https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/api/#click.Command.get_short_help_str

Solution

Would it be possible to make this behavior configurable, and allow for us to get the full help text for sub-commands?

Thanks!
