Re: how to mark up a login session?

Hi Robert,

We use <userinput> to mark where the user types commands, and <returnvalue> for the responses.  The standard stylesheet renders the <userinput> text in bold.

Example:

<screen>
&gamma.prompt;<userinput>call(sqB, Square, #perimeter);</userinput>
<returnvalue>12</returnvalue>
&gamma.prompt;<userinput>call(sqB, Square, #area);</userinput>
<returnvalue>9</returnvalue>
&gamma.prompt;
</screen>

(Note: &gamma.prompt; resolves to "Gamma> ")

Hope that helps.

Cheerio!

Bob
