David Adam 02d82dcf85 docs: update all command synopsis formatting
Adds synopses for those commands missing them.

Moves all synopsis sections to code blocks. This improves the appearance, although highlighting as
fish code may not be the ideal appearance.

.. _cmd-nextd:
nextd - move forward through directory history
==============================================
Synopsis
--------
::
nextd [ -l | --list ] [POS]
Description
-----------
``nextd`` moves forwards ``POS`` positions in the history of visited directories; if the end of the history has been hit, a warning is printed.
If the ``-l`` or ``--list`` flag is specified, the current directory history is also displayed.
Note that the ``cd`` command limits directory history to the 25 most recently visited directories. The history is stored in the ``$dirprev`` and ``$dirnext`` variables which this command manipulates.
You may be interested in the :ref:`cdh <cmd-cdh>` command which provides a more intuitive way to navigate to recently visited directories.
Example
-------
::
cd /usr/src
# Working directory is now /usr/src
cd /usr/src/fish-shell
# Working directory is now /usr/src/fish-shell
prevd
# Working directory is now /usr/src
nextd
# Working directory is now /usr/src/fish-shell
