Just saw that mysql> help show; ... ... SHOW ENGINE engine_name {LOGS | STATUS } ... ... This would probably work in the other place as well.

I don't think adding an ellipsis (...) would be an improvement but I'll leave it to the assignee of this feature request to make or not make changes to the output of the help tables.

Items listed as topics are just topics, not syntax descriptions. The output preceding the topics says: To make a more specific request, please type 'help <item>', where <item> is one of the following topics: If the topics included other syntax, then to follow the instructions, you'd type in the syntax, and the resulting command would fail.
