+Intersphinx documentation
+-------------------------
+BEDTools documentation pages are available via Intersphinx (http://sphinx-doc.org/ext/intersphinx.html).
+To enable this, add the following to conf.py in a Sphinx proejct:
+
+    intersphinx_mapping = {'bedtools': ('http://bedtools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/', None)}
+    
+BEDtools documentation links can then be generated with e.g.:
+
+    :ref:`BEDTools:map <bedtools:map>`
