ConsoleOutput MediaWiki Extension

The ConsoleOutput MediaWiki extension was created by Daniel Robbins to provide highlighting of user input for interactive terminal session blocks. To use it, surround user input with <console> opening and closing tags, and put a ##i## input code immediately before user input on each line. This will cause all text from the ##i## point onwards to be highlighted in bold. The rest of the text will be in a lighter grey, allowing it to be distinguished more easily from user input.

To install, make the following modifications to your skin:

Then install the following code in your extensions directory and include it with a require_once( "$IP/extensions/ConsoleOutput.php" ); in LocalSettings.php:
