While that's nice, not everyone actually *uses* a percent character as their prompt. This also adds the possibility that someone will perhaps enter the percent character as part of the command line.

Indeed, the convention is to use a $ for simple users, and a # for
root, isn't it ?

Should we go with the convention?
   $ == user
   # == root

A colored $ or % would avoid the confusion I believe.
On web media yes, but we still need a convention for man pages.
