Subject: [PATCH] style(uudoc): update header formatting for options and
 examples

Adjust the formatting of the options and examples sections in the
uudoc output to use Markdown headers:

- Change `<h2>Options</h2>` to `## Options`
- Change `Examples` to `## Examples`
- Add regression test to prevent reverting to HTML headers
