Asciio exec-boxes

An "exec-box" is and object that lets you run an external command and put its output in a box. There are different types of exec-boxes explained below.

Multi command

Binding: «ie» Add exec box

The simplest exec-box accepts multiple commands, one per line. It will redirect stderr for each command.

Editing the box will let you edit the command.

Verbatim

Binding: «iv» Add exec box verbatim

This exec-box doesn't redirect stderr, you can use it for commands that span multiple line or commands that take a multi line input

Editing the box will let you edit the command.

Once

Binding: «io» Add exec box verbatim once

This exec-box will run your commands once, editing the box will let you edit the command's output.

Add line numbers

Binding: «i + c-l» Add line numbered box

This is an example of a custom stencil which will add line numbers to your input.

Examples

Using previously generated output

If you already have text in a file you can use 'cat your_file' as the command.
