!!!Wiki and shell

Shell script/command is a bit like a wiki plugin.
A console with history is a bit like a long web page.
A wiki page could be a sequence of command, output.
Or each command output goes in separate page and a session history shows the N latest subpages.
Command line output has markup: return, tab, colors.
 
A regular VT is needed to use VI or other fullscreen programs.
I need more markup otherwise it's not worth the overhead of the webpage/wiki.
Possibilities:
* recognise certain data forms, add markup (e.g. http, mailto, date)
* recognize command or wrap command with dedicated filter that adds markup
* allow new commands to add markup in their output
!!Ideas for markup
* makes table a table
* add links to documentation
* add links that execute a command in the current shell)
* add image (e.g. Gnuplot output)
* add tag that tells JSPWiki to use a plugin (e.g. JfreeChart around some data).
* add menu of contextual actions
* add anchors that can be used to reuse output into new shell commands.
 Scenarios:
* click on prompt showing path, choose ls
* type lsof, output is decorated, pids show a menu of actions (pargs, stack, pwdx...)
* file prettifier annotates documentation with doc links etc.
* script displays information with local links and certain information as popups, linked pages
!!Bad scenarios
* How to handle tail?
* ls -l on big directory is useless, big, pollutes search results, how to get rid of it?
* vi and other interactive programs don't mix well

!!Terminal Emulation in JavaScript
Several terminal emulators are available which could be modified to enhance the text they display and or redirect it to web services.
