Console

What a shell printed, read back in the page: commands after their prompt, their output under them, and the terminal's colours read as the palette's, in either scheme. It reads; it does not take commands.

A session

Lines of four kinds — command, output, error, info — or plain strings. The escape codes a program wrote for its terminal are kept as colour and weight; the rest of what a terminal is told is dropped.

In vue

The same lines, drawn by the vue twin, here with a prompt of its own.

Lines as they come

Given a live updates topic, the vue console adds what each message carries — a string, a line, or a batch of lines — and follows the end unless the reader has scrolled up. Here a button plays the part of the topic, through the same append a message calls.
