To put the output of any command in your text, type the command
on a line, the press ``!!sh<RETURN>''.

To expand bash shell commands so that they're portable, try
putting echo in front of the command, then do ``!!bash<ENTER>''.
mkdir /usr/local/{bin,lib,sbin}
converts to this.
mkdir /usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib /usr/local/sbin
