Terminal commands that a user is supposed to type are formatted with ''$''
dollar sign
{{{
$ Commands to be typed into a terminal window.
}}}
However, this makes it very inconvenient to copy&paste the easiest
selection item — the whole line — since the ''$'' dollar sign will corrupt
the command.
The better way is to either:
- enhance the guide's terminal command field to show the $ without it
being selectable on triple click (as some other websites do) or
- change the syntax to exclude the $ altogether (a much more disruptive
move as it's a common convention to denote user terminal input with $)
