I'm not sure about that. There are markdown rendering engines where you can specify the language of a codeblock and it will render with specific CSS based on the language. So you can do something like ```bash ... ``` and it will show the code with newlines prefixed by "$"

That's only for highlighting.

```bash assumes content is a valid shell script

```console assumes content is a dialog between a user and a computer, with $ or such prompts and unprefixed program output

Console sessions showing output is why you can't magically auto-prefix every line with a prompt.

AFAIK specifying a language only makes a difference for syntax highlighting. I have never seen a markdown processor that would add prompts to the code based on the specified language.

Syntax highlighting is just CSS. There's nothing stopping you from adding your own custom CSS to the code block which will prefix lines with the prompts.

Yes, of course. I was just describing what most existing engines currently do.
