Example

Given the examples module:

terraform-docs asciidoc table --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"]

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