 Prompts

 In the terminal, the format of the input and output prompts can be
 customised. This does not currently affect other frontends.
 
 The following codes in the prompt string will be substituted into the
 prompt string:

 n/a     {color.<Name>}                       set terminal colour - see below for list of names
 ======  ===================================  =====================================================
 
 Available colour names are: Black, BlinkBlack, BlinkBlue, BlinkCyan,
 BlinkGreen, BlinkLightGray, BlinkPurple, BlinkRed, BlinkYellow, Blue,
 Brown, Cyan, DarkGray, Green, LightBlue, LightCyan, LightGray, LightGreen,
 LightPurple, LightRed, Purple, Red, White, Yellow. The selected colour
 scheme also defines the names *prompt* and *number*. Finally, the name
 *normal* resets the terminal to its default colour.
 
 So, this config::
 
      c.PromptManager.in_template = "{color.LightGreen}{time}{color.Yellow} \u{color.normal}>>>"
 
 will produce input prompts with the time in light green, your username
 in yellow, and a ``>>>`` prompt in the default terminal colour.

 Terminal Colors
 ===============
 
 The default IPython configuration has most bells and whistles turned on
 (they're pretty safe). But there's one that may cause problems on some
 systems: the use of color on screen for displaying information. This is
 very useful, since IPython can show prompts and exception tracebacks
 with various colors, display syntax-highlighted source code, and in
 general make it easier to visually parse information.
 
 The following terminals seem to handle the color sequences fine:
 
     * Linux main text console, KDE Konsole, Gnome Terminal, E-term,
       rxvt, xterm.
     * CDE terminal (tested under Solaris). This one boldfaces light colors.
     * (X)Emacs buffers. See the :ref:`emacs` section for more details on
       using IPython with (X)Emacs.
     * A Windows (XP/2k) command prompt with pyreadline_.
     * A Windows (XP/2k) CygWin shell. Although some users have reported
       problems; it is not clear whether there is an issue for everyone
       or only under specific configurations. If you have full color
       support under cygwin, please post to the IPython mailing list so
       this issue can be resolved for all users.
 
 .. _pyreadline: https://code.launchpad.net/pyreadline
       
 These have shown problems:
 
     * Windows command prompt in WinXP/2k logged into a Linux machine via
       telnet or ssh.
     * Windows native command prompt in WinXP/2k, without Gary Bishop's
       extensions. Once Gary's readline library is installed, the normal
       WinXP/2k command prompt works perfectly.
 
 Currently the following color schemes are available:
 
     * NoColor: uses no color escapes at all (all escapes are empty '' ''
       strings). This 'scheme' is thus fully safe to use in any terminal.
     * Linux: works well in Linux console type environments: dark
       background with light fonts. It uses bright colors for
       information, so it is difficult to read if you have a light
       colored background.
     * LightBG: the basic colors are similar to those in the Linux scheme
       but darker. It is easy to read in terminals with light backgrounds.
 
 IPython uses colors for two main groups of things: prompts and
 tracebacks which are directly printed to the terminal, and the object
 introspection system which passes large sets of data through a pager.
 
 If you are seeing garbage sequences in your terminal and no colour, you
 may need to disable colours: run ``%colors NoColor`` inside IPython, or
 add this to a config file::
 
     c.InteractiveShell.colors = 'NoColor'
 
 Colors in the pager
 -------------------
 
 On some systems, the default pager has problems with ANSI colour codes.
 To configure your default pager to allow these:
 
 1. Set the environment PAGER variable to ``less``.
 2. Set the environment LESS variable to ``-r`` (plus any other options
    you always want to pass to less by default). This tells less to
    properly interpret control sequences, which is how color
    information is given to your terminal.
 
 .. _editors:
 
 Editor configuration
 ====================
 
 IPython can integrate with text editors in a number of different ways:
 
 * Editors (such as `(X)Emacs`_, vim_ and TextMate_) can
   send code to IPython for execution.
 
 * IPython's ``%edit`` magic command can open an editor of choice to edit
   a code block.
 
 The %edit command (and its alias %ed) will invoke the editor set in your
 environment as :envvar:`EDITOR`. If this variable is not set, it will default
 to vi under Linux/Unix and to notepad under Windows. You may want to set this
 variable properly and to a lightweight editor which doesn't take too long to
 start (that is, something other than a new instance of Emacs). This way you
 can edit multi-line code quickly and with the power of a real editor right
 inside IPython.
 
 You can also control the editor by setting :attr:`TerminalInteractiveShell.editor`
 in :file:`ipython_config.py`.
 
 Vim
 ---
 
 Paul Ivanov's `vim-ipython <https://github.com/ivanov/vim-ipython>`_ provides
 powerful IPython integration for vim.
 
 .. _emacs:
 
 (X)Emacs
 --------
 
 If you are a dedicated Emacs user, and want to use Emacs when IPython's
 ``%edit`` magic command is called you should set up the Emacs server so that
 new requests are handled by the original process. This means that almost no
 time is spent in handling the request (assuming an Emacs process is already
 running). For this to work, you need to set your EDITOR environment variable
 to 'emacsclient'. The code below, supplied by Francois Pinard, can then be
-used in your :file:`.emacs` file to enable the server::
+used in your :file:`.emacs` file to enable the server:
+
+.. code-block:: common-lisp
 
     (defvar server-buffer-clients)
     (when (and (fboundp 'server-start) (string-equal (getenv "TERM") 'xterm))
       (server-start)
       (defun fp-kill-server-with-buffer-routine ()
         (and server-buffer-clients (server-done)))
       (add-hook 'kill-buffer-hook 'fp-kill-server-with-buffer-routine))
 
 Thanks to the work of Alexander Schmolck and Prabhu Ramachandran,
 currently (X)Emacs and IPython get along very well in other ways.
 
 .. note::
 
     You will need to use a recent enough version of :file:`python-mode.el`,
     along with the file :file:`ipython.el`. You can check that the version you
     have of :file:`python-mode.el` is new enough by either looking at the
     revision number in the file itself, or asking for it in (X)Emacs via ``M-x
     py-version``. Versions 4.68 and newer contain the necessary fixes for
     proper IPython support.
 
 The file :file:`ipython.el` is included with the IPython distribution, in the
 directory :file:`docs/emacs`. Once you put these files in your Emacs path, all
-you need in your :file:`.emacs` file is::
+you need in your :file:`.emacs` file is:
+
+.. code-block:: common-lisp
 
     (require 'ipython)
 
 This should give you full support for executing code snippets via
 IPython, opening IPython as your Python shell via ``C-c !``, etc.
 
 You can customize the arguments passed to the IPython instance at startup by
 setting the ``py-python-command-args`` variable.  For example, to start always
-with ``matplotlib`` integration and hardcoded light-background colors, you can use::

 Notes on emacs support:
 
 .. This looks hopelessly out of date - can someone update it?
 
 * There is one caveat you should be aware of: you must start the IPython shell
   before attempting to execute any code regions via ``C-c |``. Simply type
   ``C-c !`` to start IPython before passing any code regions to the
   interpreter, and you shouldn't experience any problems. This is due to a bug
   in Python itself, which has been fixed for Python 2.3, but exists as of
   Python 2.2.2 (reported as SF bug [ 737947 ]).
 
 * The (X)Emacs support is maintained by Alexander Schmolck, so all
   comments/requests should be directed to him through the IPython mailing
   lists.
 
 * This code is still somewhat experimental so it's a bit rough around the
   edges (although in practice, it works quite well).
 
 * Be aware that if you customized ``py-python-command`` previously, this value
   will override what :file:`ipython.el` does (because loading the customization
   variables comes later).
