Interactive terminal/shell sessions

To highlight an interactive terminal or shell session, prefix your code snippet with a specially formatted prompt.

Supported shells with examples are shown below. In each example, prompt parts in brackets [any] represent optional parts of the prompt, and prompt parts without brackets or in parenthesis (any) represent required parts of the prompt.

• Bash Session (console, shell-session):

  [any@any]$ ls -lh
  [any@any]# ls -lh
  [any@any]% ls -lh
  $ ls -lh
  # ls -lh
  % ls -lh
  > ls -lh
  

• MSDOS Session (doscon):

  [any]> dir
  > dir
  More? dir
  

• Tcsh Session (tcshcon):

  (any)> ls -lh
  ? ls -lh
  

• PowerShell Session (ps1con):

  PS[any]> Get-ChildItem
  PS> Get-ChildItem
  >> Get-ChildItem
  

… that’s all?
