Daniel Robbins has developed a custom MediaWiki extension to allow the realistic display of console output in wikitext. Here's an example to give you an idea of what it can look like:
root # bluetoothctl [NEW] Controller 00:02:72:C9:62:65 antec [default] root ##bl##[bluetooth]##!bl### power on Changing power on succeeded root ##bl##[bluetooth]##!bl### agent on Agent registered root ##bl##[bluetooth]##!bl### scan on Discovery started root ##bl##[bluetooth]##!bl### devices Device 00:1F:20:3D:1E:75 Logitech K760 root ##bl##[bluetooth]##!bl### pair 00:1F:20:3D:1E:75 Attempting to pair with 00:1F:20:3D:1E:75 [CHG] Device 00:1F:20:3D:1E:75 Connected: yes root ##r##[agent]##!r## Passkey: 454358 root ##r##[agent]##!r## Passkey: 454358 root ##r##[agent]##!r## Passkey: 454358 root ##r##[agent]##!r## Passkey: 454358 root ##r##[agent]##!r## Passkey: 454358 root ##r##[agent]##!r## Passkey: 454358 root ##r##[agent]##!r## Passkey: 454358 [CHG] Device 00:1F:20:3D:1E:75 Paired: yes Pairing successful [CHG] Device 00:1F:20:3D:1E:75 Connected: no root ##bl##[bluetooth]##!bl### connect 00:1F:20:3D:1E:75 Attempting to connect to 00:1F:20:3D:1E:75 [CHG] Device 00:1F:20:3D:1E:75 Connected: yes Connection successful root ##bl##[bluetooth]##!bl### quit [DEL] Controller 00:02:72:C9:62:65 antec [default] root #
As you can see, this renders in a way that provides a more realistic representation of what actually happened on a terminal console. The text highlighted in bright orange is supposed to be the text that the user has typed in directly.
Console Usage
To display console output, use the {{console}} template:
For a root console:
{{console|body=
###i## run a command as root
}}
Produces:
root # run a command as root
For a non-root console:
{{console|body=
$ ##i##run a command as user
}}
Produces:
user $ run a command as user
Note that we use a # prompt for root and a $ prompt to denote a non-root user.
The ##i## text tags the rest of the line as being user input ("i" is for "input"). It is then highlighted in a noticeable color so it stands out from text that is not typed in by the user.
If you need to end highlighting of user input prior to the end of a line, use ##!i## to mark the end of the highlighted area.
The following special character sequences are also available:
##g##- Green##y##- Yellow##bl##- Blue##r##- Red##b##- Bold
Please use the above coloring options sparingly. It is sometimes nice to use them to get wiki console output to match the colors that are displayed on a Linux console. Also note that for every color above, there is a matching ##!(colorcode)## option to turn color off prior to end of line.
