…tmux or byobu to launch a cmd2 application in a terminal multiplexer along with another application such as a shell. One example uses windows/tabs and the other uses a split screen mode.

All whitespace changes like this are due to prettier auto-formatting of Markdown and YAML files accoridng to the configuration in the .prettierrc configuration file in the cmd2 project root directory.
There is a Prettier extension for VSCode and a Prettier plugin for PyCharm - both make it easy to auto-format on save.
In the future we may want to look into a GitHub Actions workflow to check the auto-formatting of all Markdown and YAML files using Prettier, but I think that might be overkill at this time.

Added a couple simple example shell scripts demonstrating how to use tmux or [byobu])(https://www.byobu.org/) to launch a
cmd2application in a terminal multiplexer along with another application such as a shell.One example uses windows/tabs and the other uses a split screen mode.
Using a terminal multiplexer to have a
cmd2app running at the same time as a shell within a single physical terminal is a common use case I have seen multiplecmd2customer use. This intent is to make this use case more discoverable for those not very familiar withtmuxorbyobu.Also added a README.md with brief documentation about each example and added that to the built documentation as well.
