This plugin adds enhanced support for command line code blocks in Obsidian.

## Features

- Copy command lines from your notes without selecting text.
- Prompts and output are removed from clipboard contents to support pasting into
  terminal sessions.
- Default prompts are provided for command lines that do not specify one.
- Optional syntax highlighting and styling using [Prism Command Line][5].
- Optional support for removing unnecessary white space from clipboard contents.
- Supports mobile and desktop.

## Getting Started

Command line code blocks are identified using one of the following languages:

| Name                 | Highlight    | Prompt Pattern | Default Prompt | Continuation |
| -------------------- | ------------ | -------------- | -------------- | ------------ |
| `powershell-command` | `powershell` | `/\S*?>/`      | `PS>`          | `` ` ``      |
| `shell-command`      | `shell`      | `/\S*?[#$%]/`  | `$`            | `\`          |
| `windows-command`    | `batch`      | `/\S*?>/`      | `C:\>`         | `^`          |

For example, copying the following code block to the clipboard will remove the
prompt and output while preserving line continuations and white space:

````
```shell-command
$ command with \
    line continuation
and output, which will be removed
from the clipboard.
```
````

> [!NOTE]
> If clipboard normalization is enabled in Settings, unnecessary white space
> (including line continuations) will be removed in addition to the prompt and
> output.
