Preceding dollar sign ($) and copy paste (UX Issue)

Open andyfleming opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

On pages like http://docs.cs50.net/problems/fifteen/fifteen.html when there is a $ preceding a command, it would be helpful to format it in a way as to not copy paste the $ .

You could consider an approach like Digital Ocean uses in their tutorials: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-moodle-on-ubuntu-16-04

Alternatively, we could just remove the dollar signs. Other places in the docs are already this way. (See http://docs.cs50.net/2017/x/psets/5/pset5.html for examples).

Sounds good. Not a huge deal, just a minor enhancement I thought would be helpful to some students.

Thanks for the quick reply!
