An alternative would be to enable (parts of) org-mode in the *Help*
buffer.  I've just tried `M-x describe-package RET corfu RET` which
comes with a README.org and then enabling org-mode in the *Help* buffer.
That looked really nice and didn't seem to cause bad effects except that
the [back] / [forward] buttons stopped working.
