Hello all,
It's just to know which method to use for the output of a command on the forum :p

like this:

Code: Select all

$ apt search linux-* 3.16.0-6-586
En train de trier... Fait
Recherche en texte intégral... Fait
linux-headers-3.16.0-6-586/oldstable 3.16.56-1+deb8u1 i386
Header files for Linux 3.16.0-6-586

linux-image-3.16.0-6-586/oldstable,now 3.16.56-1+deb8u1 i386 [installé]
Linux 3.16 for older PCs
or like that

Code: Select all

$ apt search linux-* 3.16.0-6-586
En train de trier... Fait
Recherche en texte intégral... Fait
linux-headers-3.16.0-6-586/oldstable 3.16.56-1+deb8u1 i386
  Header files for Linux 3.16.0-6-586

linux-image-3.16.0-6-586/oldstable,now 3.16.56-1+deb8u1 i386  [installé]

The code one :) Sometimes outputs can run quite lengthy, code leaves formatting of the command as is, and makes a nice scroll bar on longer entries.

Please do use code-tags ( the icon above the editor window </>) and paste between
the code-tags [code] paste output here[/code].
For short quotes is probably ok to use quote-tags ( quote-icon above editor window " and paste between [quote] paste quotes here [/quote].
Hint: When you mark text and press the tag-icon above the editor the text goes into the tags.

Thank you for your return, if I understand correctly there is no well defined rule for that ...
if not, is it possible to color, if so how?
For example,
For have this

Code: Select all

# ls
#.bash_history#  directory.txt  geany-themes  LGPL     packaging           RESULTS1.txt  Téléchargements
Bureau           Documents      Images        Modèles  Public              RESULTS2.txt  usr
Desktop          dwhelper       infogrub.txt  Musique  recherches emplois  RESULTS.txt   Vidéos

Well, it is a polite moderator request, and in this sense it is well spelled out. :happy:

In addition, do please consult the FAQ above,
esp. Can I use HTML?

yes, I knew for the html
But it is possible to color bbcode, but this is not easy to do ...
for example, is it possible to redirect the output of a command to bbcode .... for html I use ccze ... ??

You mean like this bbcolor code:
Hello world!

Seems to work.
Thank you for this info.
Quoted:
Hello world!

C'est psychédélique.
I think it's bearable (and even funny) once in a while but too often and you get a big headache :frustrated:

yes and this is not the goal, but just a parenthesis .... :hitmyhead:
-) for color, I was thinking of something like this, which does not work on MX forum ...
source of the example: https://www.debian-fr.org/c/support
-) With code
</code></pre>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">$ cat /isos/00_isoboot.cfg

</code></pre>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">menuentry "bl-Deuterium-i386 install" {
set root='hd0,msdos1'
set isofile="/isos/bl-Deuterium-i386+NonPAE_20170429.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,msdos1)$isofile
linux (loop)/install/gtk/vmlinuz findiso=${isofile} video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=788 -- quiet
initrd (loop)/install/gtk/initrd.gz
}</code></pre>
-) we get a color output like this
Image

I'd kindly request leaving the colors out of posts, it's easier to read when posts are in plain jane text. Thanks :)
