Description
## Summary
In the book manuscript, user-entered text is shown in bold within command examples. For example:
```
$ **ls -al**
output here
```
The `$ ` prompt is regular weight, but `ls -al` (what the user types) is bold.
## Current Behavior
Our bash-formatted code blocks don't support inline bold styling:
```bash
$ ls -al
output here
```
Everything renders in the same weight.
## Desired Behavior
Find a way to visually distinguish:
- Prompt (`$`) - regular weight
- User input (`ls -al`) - bold or highlighted
- Output - regular weight
## Options to Explore
1. Custom code block component with markup parsing
2. CSS-based solution using syntax highlighting classes
3. Different approach (e.g., separate prompt/input/output blocks)
## Context
This is a migration issue - the book uses this convention throughout to help readers distinguish what they should type vs. what they'll see.
