Artemio,
: I need to know how to describe a command prompt.
: Say, I want to write in my howto:
: # cd /some/dir
: # ls -l
: What tags should I put the shell commands into?
I would do this:
<programlisting>
<prompt># </prompt><userinput>cd /some/dir</userinput>
<prompt># </prompt><userinput>ls -l</userinput>
</programlisting>
You may find the DocBook reference quite handy:
