Valentin Gagarin 180538672a disallow selecting shell prompt in code samples this is a quick half-fix for command line examples, as discussed discussed in [1]. [1]: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7389 examples which look like this $ foo bar baz are confusing for Unix shell beginners, because it's hard to discern what is supposed to be entered into the actual command line when the convention of prefixing `$` is not known, as barely any real-world shell looks that way any more. this change prevents selecting the prompt part with the mouse in the HTML representation of the Nix manual. it does not prevent selecting the output part of the shell example. it also does not address that the copy button provided by mdBook takes the entire sample, including the prompts, into the clipboard.		2022-12-05 11:01:46 +01:00
