> my students are often confused by it, sometimes they copy the angle brackets, sometime even the prompt.

Learning to recognise placeholders and the prompt is an essential part of learning to code, and a stage that everyone has to go through. Replacing plain text markup with styled formatting doesn't change that, but it does make it harder for the blind or visually impaired who are using screen-readers, or those who prefer to use a plain text interface with no support for bold/italic.

How do your enhancements look in w3m, links or linx? The current design renders nicely in plain text on links. (I haven't checked the other two.)


> I ran a few tests.

What sort of tests? Usability tests? What results did you get?
