I really wish I would have got this right a few years ago. Theres a couple of
flags I had to use to get mdformat to do hard wraps at 80 characters and not
wreck tables. This mix of flags and plugins is workign really well for me so
far.

```bash
mdfmt() {
 uvx \
 --with "mdformat-ruff" \
 --with "mdformat-beautysh" \
 --with "mdformat-web" \
 --with "mdformat-config" \
 --with "mdformat-gfm" \
 --with "mdformat-front-matters" \
 --with "mdformat-wikilink" \
 --with "mdformat-simple-breaks" \
 mdformat \
 --wrap 80 \
 --end-of-line lf \
 --codeformatters python \
 --codeformatters bash \
 "$@"
}
```

And as pre-commmit.
