I am after some advice on how to display Linux terminal commands into LaTeX, so that they are indented and look different from normal text.

I have tried to insert the following into LaTeX

  $\emph {wget http://etc...................}

this outputs the wget onto a single line and then the part starting http onto another line. I want it all to appear on one line. Can someone body please give me some advice.

You can use the features provided by the listings package.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{listings}

\begin{document}

\noindent See the following command :
\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
  $ wget http://tex.stackexchange.com
\end{lstlisting}

\end{document}
