-`-pheno [0,1,...]` \t If your phenotype file contains multiple phenotypes, you can use this flag to specify which phenotype should be used.
+`-pheno [0,1,...]` If your phenotype file contains multiple phenotypes, you can use this flag to specify which phenotype should be used.
 If you skip the `-pheno` flag, the first phenotype will be used (equivalent to `-pheno 0`).
 The second phenotype has index 1, the third index 2 and so forth...
 
-`-testBlockSize 1` \t This will start a test-run with only one sub-matrix to be calculated.
+`-testBlockSize 1`  This will start a test-run with only one sub-matrix to be calculated.
 Use this flag to reduce runtime to test for the best possible value for `-blockSize`
 This will not create ANY results!
