{{< /command >}}The shortcode supports the following arguments:
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| class | string | Class attribute of the command element. | ||
| host | string | Host to add to the prompt, e.g. localhost. |
||
| prompt | string | Prompt override, e.g. PS C:\Users\User>. |
||
| shell | select | bash | Type of shell. Supported values: [bash, powershell, sql]. | |
| user | string | User to add to the prompt, e.g. user. |
Change the style and language of your command prompt with shortcode arguments.

export MY_VAR=123
echo "hello"
hello
echo one \
two \
three
one two three
echo "goodbye"
goodbye{{< command user="user" host="localhost" >}}
export MY_VAR=123
echo "hello"
(out)hello
echo one \

(out)one two three
echo "goodbye"
(out)goodbye
