Hello, Is there a standard format for quoting examples of commands to be entered by the user? I've given the following example commands: cd /tmp wget http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-static cd /opt tar xjvf /tmp/skype_static-4.0.0.7.tar.bz2 rm /tmp/skype_static-4.0.0.7.tar.bz2 ln -s skype_staticQT-4.0.0.7 skype Someone changed them to add prompts: [root@host]# cd /tmp [root@host]# wget http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-static [root@host]# cd /opt [root@host]# tar xjvf /tmp/skype_static-4.0.0.7.tar.bz2 [root@host]# rm /tmp/skype_static-4.0.0.7.tar.bz2 [root@host]# ln -s skype_staticQT-4.0.0.7 skype I think my way is better, since the user can simply copy and paste the entire example into a terminal. Conversely, with a prompt, there's no chance that the example will be confused with a program listing, but I don't think that's likely to happen. Is either format preferred?
