New description:

 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, for example,
 check this one [https://scoop.sh/#/apps?q=regfileexport&s=0&d=1&o=true] —
 you don't even need to triple click to select a line, just clicking on the
 line can select the command you can paste to the terminal, and there is
 also a very helpful clipboard icon indicator that you've copied
   - 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 $)
