Blog Terminal

Описание

Blog Terminal generates a terminal-like box that you can use to demonstrate terminal output or show the entry of terminal/console commands in a manner that is more demonstrative of actually using a Linux/Unix terminal or Windows cmd shell.

The code is a fork of Post Terminal, which is a fork of WP-Terminal which in turn is a modification of WP-Syntax, a source code highlighter plugin for WordPress.

Unlike Post terminal, it uses [terminal] shorthand for the terminal box. It also shows prompt only on lines explitly set to do that.

Basic Usage

The most basic usage is to wrap your terminal blocks with [terminal][/terminal] tags. If no further options are defined within the tag a generic prompt is generated using ‘user@computer’ with no working directory shown. This is similar to exporting PS1=»\u@\h:$ » in sh(1), setting prompt=»%n@%m:$ » in csh(1), etc.
Other options available within the tag are user=»user», computer=»computer», and cwd=»/path/to/directory». These allow you to override the generic user@computer settings as well as provide a ‘current working directory’.
The prompt is only shown on the lines starting with ‘$ ‘. So you can mix commands with simulated terminal output.

Usage

Wrap terminal blocks with [terminal user="username" computer="computername" cwd="/path/to/directory"] and [\terminal]. They are all optional. «user» and «computer» will be shown if you don’t provide them, cwd is purely optional.

Example 1: No customized command

[terminal]
$ ls -a
[/terminal]

Example 2: User and computer customizations

[terminal user="tux" computer="linux"]
$ ls -a
[/terminal]

Example 3: Customizing just the user

[terminal user="dak"]
$ ls -a
[/terminal]

Example 4: Customizing user, computer and displaying a working directory

[terminal user="root" computer="linuxserver" cwd="/usr/src/linux"]
$ make mrproper
 ...
 ... 
[/terminal]
