A 'Command' box used to display command output.

This template accepts both named and unnamed parameters.

{{Command|name=command name|output=command output}}
$ command name

<pre<noinclude></noinclude> style="white-space: pre-wrap; overflow-x: auto; border-top: none; margin-top: 0">command output</pre<noinclude></noinclude>>

{{Command|command=command name|output=command output}}
$ command name

<pre<noinclude></noinclude> style="white-space: pre-wrap; overflow-x: auto; border-top: none; margin-top: 0">command output</pre<noinclude></noinclude>>

{{Command|command name|command output}}
$ command name

<pre<noinclude></noinclude> style="white-space: pre-wrap; overflow-x: auto; border-top: none; margin-top: 0">command output</pre<noinclude></noinclude>>

An optional prompt argument can be used to specify an alternative prompt. The default prompt is $, indicating that the command should be run as an unprivileged user. To specify that a command should be run as root, use # as the prompt:

{{Command|privileged command name|privileged command output|prompt=#}}
# privileged command name

<pre<noinclude></noinclude> style="white-space: pre-wrap; overflow-x: auto; border-top: none; margin-top: 0">privileged command output</pre<noinclude></noinclude>>

This template can be used for any interactive shell. For example, an interactive Python session:

{{Command|import this|The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters|prompt=>>>}}
>>> import this

<pre<noinclude></noinclude> style="white-space: pre-wrap; overflow-x: auto; border-top: none; margin-top: 0">The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters</pre<noinclude></noinclude>>

Note that parameters containing equals signs and wiki markup should be surrounded by <nowiki> tags, like so:

{{Command|command name|<nowiki>command output with [[wiki markup]] and '''such'''<nowiki>}}
$ command name

<pre<noinclude></noinclude> style="white-space: pre-wrap; overflow-x: auto; border-top: none; margin-top: 0">command output with [[wiki markup]] and '''such'''</pre<noinclude></noinclude>>

Otherwise, the markup will be parsed by MediaWiki. (This may, in fact, be the desired result.)

{{Command|command name|command output with [[wiki markup]] and '''such'''}}
$ command name

<pre<noinclude></noinclude> style="white-space: pre-wrap; overflow-x: auto; border-top: none; margin-top: 0">command output with wiki markup and such</pre<noinclude></noinclude>>

Long lines will automatically wrap.

{{Command|{{Lorem Ipsum}}|{{Lorem Ipsum}}}}

<pre<noinclude></noinclude> style="white-space: pre-wrap; overflow-x: auto; border-top: none; margin-top: 0">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
