## Summary

<!--Please provide as much information as possible such as error messages or attaching logs-->

We have a lot of shell commands.  Traditionally you would want

```shell
$ ls -l
$ find /
```

With the `$` denoting it's a command to write on the shell however now we have `copybutton` installed that lets you copy the text.  It has support to strip prompts out:

* https://sphinx-copybutton.readthedocs.io/en/latest/use.html

I'll open an MR to add

```
copybutton_prompt_text = "$ "
```

The engineer manual will need to be updated to to properly format issues
