Sebastiaan van Stijn 47ba76afb1 docs: use "console" code-hint for shell examples
This replaces the use of bash where suitable, to allow easier copy/pasting
of shell examples without copying the prompt or process output.

# stop
```markdown
Usage: docker stop [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]
Stop one or more running containers
Options:
--help Print usage
-t, --time int Seconds to wait for stop before killing it (default 10)
```
## Description
The main process inside the container will receive `SIGTERM`, and after a grace
period, `SIGKILL`. The first signal can be changed with the `STOPSIGNAL`
instruction in the container's Dockerfile, or the `--stop-signal` option to
`docker run`.
## Examples
```console
$ docker stop my_container
```
