Include specified type in the html #19

Problem

When writing arguments using argparse, one often includes the type of the variable (e.g., str, np.int32). However as far as I can tell, when using sphinx-argparse this type is not included in the documentation. I also cannot seem to find how to include the type anywhere in the documentation. While errors are obviously thrown if the type of the argument is incorrect, is there a way to include the type of the argument that is include in the add_argument function in the documentation?

Example

parser.add_argument(
     '--hello', dest='hello', type=str, default='Hello world!'
)

should give something in the documentation html like

--train   type: str
    Default: 'Hello world!'
