## Description

WP-ShkShell provides a terminal-like box for embedding terminal commands within 
pages or posts.
 It also support multi-lines, multi-commands and has syntax hightlight.

The code is a modification of WP-Terminal (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
wp-terminal/).

**Example 1: Default prompt**

    ```
    <pre lang="shell" prompt="$">
      ls -a
    </pre>
    ```

**Example 2: Customized prompt**

    ```
    <pre lang="shell" prompt="#">
      ls -a
    </pre>
    ```

**Example 3: Another customized prompt**

    ```
    <pre lang="shell" prompt="user@machine$">
      ls -a
    </pre>
    ```

**Example 4: Comments**

    ```
    <pre lang="shell" prompt="user@machine$">
      ls -a
      # will also list hidden files
    </pre>
    ```

**Example 5: Multiline commands**

    ```
    <pre lang="shell">
      ls
      <br>ls -a
    </pre>
    ```

**Example 6: Multiline lines, multiple commands**

    ```
    <pre lang="shell">
      ls
      file1 file2 file3
      <br>ls -A
      .file0 file1 file2 file3
    </pre>
    ```
