Less command

If you want to have less like command, you can use an additional file:

https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/js/less.js

This add a new jQuery plugin that can be invoked on Terminal instance, which is also a jQuery Object.

$('body').terminal({
    less: function(file) {
       $.get(file, (text) => this.less(text));
    }
});

This example shows how to invoke less with any syntax highlighting you have. If you don't want to have formatting but only for less, then you should not use the function syntax but use the function $.terminal.prism:

$('body').terminal({
    less: function(file) {
       var language = {html: 'website': js: 'javascript', css: 'css'};
       var ext = file.match(/\.([^.]+)$/)[1];
       $.get(file, (text) => this.less($.terminal.prism(language[ext], text)));
    }
});

ASCII Table

To render ASCII table like in MySQL command line. You can use file:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jquery.terminal/js/ascii_table.js"></script>

and use:

var arr = [[1,2,3,4,5], ["lorem", "ipsum", "dolor", "sit", "amet"]];
term.echo(ascii_table(arr));

arr = [['name', 'command'], ['foo', 'hello'], ['bar', 'world'], ['baz', 'lorem ipsum']];
term.echo(ascii_table(arr, true)); // use header

The output looks like this:

+-------+-------+-------+-----+------+
| 1     | 2     | 3     | 4   | 5    |
| lorem | ipsum | dolor | sit | amet |
+-------+-------+-------+-----+------+
+------+-------------+
| name | command     |
+------+-------------+
| foo  | hello       |
| bar  | world       |
| baz  | lorem ipsum |
+------+-------------+
