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]
