You can control how `<py-terminal>` behaves by setting the value of the `terminal` configuration in your `<py-config>`, together with the `docked` one.

In all other cases it's up to the user decide if a terminal should be docked or not.
For the **xterm** field, these are the values:

|-------|-------------|
| `false` | This is the default. The `<py-terminal>` is a simple `<pre>` tag with some CSS styling. |
| `true` or `xterm` | The [xtermjs](http://xtermjs.org/) library is loaded and its Terminal object is used as the `<py-terminal>`. It's visibility and position are determined by the `docked` and `auto` keys in the same way as the default `<py-terminal>` |
The xterm.js [Terminal object](http://xtermjs.org/docs/api/terminal/classes/terminal/) can be accessed directly if you want to adjust its properties, add [custom parser hooks](http://xtermjs.org/docs/guides/hooks/), introduce [xterm.js addons](http://xtermjs.org/docs/guides/using-addons/), etc. Access is best achieved by awaiting the `xtermReady` attribute of the `<py-terminal>` HTML element itself:
```python
import js
import asyncio
async def adjust_term_size(columns, rows):
xterm = await js.document.querySelector('py-terminal').xtermReady
xterm.resize(columns, rows)
asyncio.ensure_future(adjust_term_size(40,10))
```
Some terminal-formatting packages read from specific environment variables to determine whether they should emit formatted output; PyScript does not set these variables explicitly - you may need to set them yourself, or force your terminal-formatting package into a state where it outputs correctly formatted output.
A couple of specific examples:
- the [rich](https://github.com/Textualize/rich) will not, by default, output colorful text, but passing `256` or `truecolor` as an argument as the `color_system` parameter to the [Console constructor](https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/console.html#rich.console.Console) will force it to do so. (As of rich v13)
- [termcolor](https://github.com/termcolor/termcolor) will not, by default, output colorful text, but setting `os.environ["FORCE_COLOR"] = "True"` or by passing `force_color=True` to the `colored()` function will force it to do so. (As of termcolor v2.3)
