I also prefer the current style overall - in particular, I don't like things that look like buttons that I can't
click on. I do think some of your enhancements are nice. I think giving the user
a few action cues with color is great if not overused. We should also check that users with
color vision deficiency
won't have problems with readability.
In my Windows install documents, I took a
cut-and-paste approach, and it has been very useful. You can put comments in with, e.g.
# Aren't you glad you can cut-and-paste this command?
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -v -u 502 -g 501 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
You could make commands and comments different colors, white and green perhaps. Of course you would still lose any inlined output and prompt information as Ola mentioned. Thanks for working on this!
