Enable copying of code block without leading '$' for command-line examples

[ppiegaze]

What's your feature/idea?

When using a code block to display a CLI command I often prefix the command with the prompt '$' or '>' to indicate that the text is to be entered at the command line. However, when the reader copies the text using the 'copy' button the prompt is copied along with command-line text. Pasting it to the terminal then results in an extraneous leading character.

It would be great if there was an option similar to the existing option to add line numbers that added a command prompt in front of each line, with the author filling in only the actual command itself and this text being the only thing that is copied on clicking the copy button.

What's your desired outcome?

This would result in a slightly smoother experience for the reader/user of my docs. Every little bit counts!
