			It is likely a command line. You can triple-click it, then copy & paste it directly into a terminal.

			Sometimes, there'll be whole scripts to paste into a file on your machine. (I like [[HowTo -_vi{{!}}vi]] as an editor, but use whatever editor you like.) When a script is posted, it'll be formatted like this:

			<syntaxhighlight lang="sh" line="1">
			# This is a rather silly little bash script...

			echo "This script is silly."
			echo "It doesn't do much."
			echo
			echo "In fact, it just tells you it's silly..."
			</syntaxhighlight>

			Just copy the whole thing & paste it into your editor in a terminal...
