Support to format terminal commands in comments

This might also be fixable with attachments, which I believe has a moderate to high priority since we wish to convert some bugs to questions, and preserve the bug attachments.

I think that's an option and an improvement, but it might be more of a hassle than it needs to be - at least for the users :). They would have to copy output and then save to a file and then upload the file. Not a big deal but being able to do it right in launchpad would be nice. I've recently discovered the pastebin concept. I doubt it would be easy to implement but having a built-in pastebin (open with a drop down or something) would be really slick. However, any solution you come up will be an improvement. Thanks for your help.

I think there's a high correlation between those terminal commands for which monospace output is important, and those terminal commands that produce very long output, and that therefore attachments are the most appropriate solution here.

I don't disagree that using attachments is a good solution - only that it might not be the best from a user perspective. Maybe I've spent too much time on forums, but copy and paste is quite it a bit easier for a user than creating, saving and uploading a file. However, an attachment option is certainly better than nothing.

Bug #435865 may be related.

Sorry, my title change did not take affect. We need to disregard the suggested solution and focus on why this bug exists; users need to provide example terminal commands in comments. The solution may be a text formatter like the used used to format quoted text. Those paragraphs would be given a different class. I this is not easy since we need a constant identifier for the command, and the out but cannot have blank lines. We may want a solution where the user can explicitly indicate the terminal text.
