Follow-up Comment #6, bug #39303 (project octave):

The print usage function is intended to work properly with docstrings that are
formatted with Texinfo markup.

The idea is that print_usage displays the @deftypfn{,x} lines plus the first
part of the help text, up to the first blank line.  That first part of the
help text should be a short summary stating what the function does.

I think the right way to fix this problem is to fix the docstring to use
Texinfo markup and perhaps make a note of this requirement in the print_usage
docstring.
