Hi,
Nice job with the templates. I have some questions though:
Do we have a template for the output of the command?
I guess I have 2 use cases:
A) Type
apk add openssh
How do I show what the output of the command is?
B) Your /etc/apk/repositories file looks like this:
How do I show what the file contents look like?
- To be honest I'm not really happy about the CMD template and yes we do not have template for the output of the command. Using pre is a good choice for now. We can either tune the CMD template to mach pre or make a new template/upgrade the old CMD template to work for output as well . --K0gen 01:30, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
- I agree that CMD template could be improved. we could have something like: {{Cmd|command|output}} where output is optional. We could have a template called File to show file contents. Could initially only have pre. --Ncopa 07:26, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- (Much later:) I refined/expanded the templates some. See http://lists.alpinelinux.org/alpine-devel/0702.html. In brief:
- continue to use {{Cmd|command}} for user input
- use <pre> or space-indented blocks to display command output, or shell sessions that include prompts and intermix user input and command output
- use {{Cat|/path/to/file|file contents}} to display file contents:
Contents of /etc/apk/repositories
How do I show what the file contents look like?
