Dollar signs in installation section of TRPL can be confusing.

[nham]

Currently the Installation section of TRPL displays commands to be typed into the command line with a dollar sign in front, like this:

$ rustc --version

I see that there's a warning that you shouldn't type them, but nevertheless one person was already confused: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/powershell-and-rustc-command/1411

Either the warning should be made more prominent, or the dollar signs should be removed. (Note that in Clojure from the ground up there are no dollar signs, which seems to work well).

This has a very, very long history of being how to show command line things. I would prefer something to be more prominent over breaking with history.

Dollar signs could be added with CSS :before, so it wouldn’t be copy-able. I guess that would shave off another 99% of that 1% of people who blindly copy-paste.

Great idea there @nagisa.
