Not enough sadly.

Go to 
yocto-docs/documentation/_build/html/ref-manual/terms.html#term-Build-Directory 
and click the copy button. It'll copy the $ as well, and it shouldn't. 
First, I believe those code blocks should be console and not shell (or 
shell but we remove $ in front). Note that some file have their 
highlight language changed to shell, c.f. the toaster files, so a simple 
grep will not return everything that needs to be changed.

Second, we may need to configure copybutton, e.g. 
https://sphinx-copybutton.readthedocs.io/en/latest/use.html#strip-and-configure-input-prompts-for-code-cells 
at the very least I guess.

FYI on Fedora, I believe we should be able to use packages from the 
package feed for all docs since f41 (but since we say we still support 
f39 and f40, not applicable right now).

Cheers,
Quentin
