Example BED file(s) referenced throughout the docs are not tab delimited

Hello there,

I hope you are having an awesome day! I just wanted to say thank you for creating and maintaining this awesome tool. bedtools is extremely useful!

With that being said, I noticed a small re-occurring issue throughout the tool's documentation. The example BED files referenced throughout the docs are not in BED format. They are delimited by multiple white-space characters and not by tabs. This causes issues if you are copy/pasting text from the docs to quickly test out different bedtools commands: image

Here is one page that contains the issue:

  • https://bedtools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/content/tools/sort.html

I am not 100% sure if you were aware of this or if this was intended, feel free to close this issue.
