The closing tag can be replaced by ``</>``, which revokes all formatting options

established by the last opened tag.

It is possible to define your own styles using the class

:class:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Formatter\\OutputFormatterStyle`::

Available foreground and background colors are: ``black``, ``red``, ``green``,

``yellow``, ``blue``, ``magenta``, ``cyan`` and ``white``.

And available options are: ``bold``, ``underscore``, ``blink``, ``reverse`` and ``conceal``.

And available options are: ``bold``, ``underscore``, ``blink``, ``reverse``

commonly used when asking the user to type sensitive information).

You can also set these colors and options inside the tagname::

There arethree argument variants you can use:

Mode Value

InputArgument::REQUIRED The argument is required

InputArgument::OPTIONAL The argument is optional and therefore can be omitted

InputArgument::IS_ARRAY The argument can contain an indefinite number of arguments and must be used at the end of the argument list

``InputArgument::REQUIRED`` The argument is required

``InputArgument::OPTIONAL`` The argument is optional and therefore can be omitted

``InputArgument::IS_ARRAY`` The argument can contain an indefinite number of arguments and must be used at the end of the argument list
