A screenshot showing broken syntax highlighting

I didn't find any issues relating to this, so please close this down if it's
already being tackled elsewhere.

I noticed while editing a page recently that the syntax highlighting in VS Code
wasn't happy with the formatting of some of the text. It looks like this is
caused by unescaped single quotes in some of the code blocks. These are making
the highlighter unhappy and are causing some oddities in the application of
syntax highlighting in the published pages (see attached).

Rather than escaping these, I think the solution is to mark these blocks as
"console" rather than "shell". The code in question is not a shell script but
rather a console prompt. If we change the highlighting, this fixes the
highlighter's complaint in the IDE and also unifies the highlighting in the
published article.

This issue may be in quite a few places, so I'm not sure whether it is best to
tackle this as one large patch or to split it up.
