I'm honestly not sure which formatter this is using. Probably something
from the markdown LSP server I'm using. Maybe something built in to
neovim or that ships with LazyVim?

## Deploying ##
## Deploying
In most cases, you can follow the normal procedure for building a deploying any
go application. For example:
- `go build willnorris.com/go/imageproxy/cmd/imageproxy`
- copy resulting binary to `/usr/local/bin`
- copy [`etc/imageproxy.service`](etc/imageproxy.service) to
- `go build willnorris.com/go/imageproxy/cmd/imageproxy`
- copy resulting binary to `/usr/local/bin`
- copy [`etc/imageproxy.service`](etc/imageproxy.service) to
`/lib/systemd/system` and enable using `systemctl`.
