Paul Holzinger bc48211924 Fix long option format on docs.podman.io
Escape the two dashes, otherwise they are combined into one long dash.
I tested that this change is safe and still renders correctly on github
and with the man pages.

This commit also contains a small change to make it build locally.
Assuming you have the dependencies installed you can do:
```
cd docs
make html
```
Preview the html files in docs/build/html with
`python -m http.server 8000 --directory build/html`.

Fixes containers/podman.io#373
