## Description

Show the world how you use the command line with this plugin. Designed for tech 
blogs, tutorials and sections
 where terminal commands matter.

This plugin, make a shortcode: [simterm][/simterm] and shows the text inside as 
in a terminal session, including
 some typing animation and separating user input
and program output. By defaults commands have a $ symbol as the first character 
of the line and user input has the > (greater than) symbol.

You can also specify the color of the line using ##red## , ##blue## , ##green## 
or ##yellow## or even a custom
 delay for this line with ##delay=[ms]## with the
amount of milliseconds to sleep.

To create the effect it uses “Show Your Terms” by Kande Bofim, a tiny and library
agnostic Javascript.
