    Considering that trying to guess the prog-lang is not really feasible (meta.stackexchange.com/q/355852), I'd rather see the label dropped altogether, and then include the attribution as plain text. I don't think folks are incapable of commenting out a couple of lines manually. Commented Nov 4 at 21:51

    @M-- fully agreed about dropping the prog-lang label, and even when guessed correctly, users typically know the language anyway. Commented Nov 4 at 21:56

    Yeah, the language tag is not even correct in the example screenshot (the command is related to python, but is not python code and must be executed in the shell). Removing it would make more sense than trying to improve the layout. Commented Nov 6 at 10:56

    In that example it's pretty annoying if attribution gets included in the copy. A one-line pip install does not need attribution... Commented Nov 8 at 13:46
