+runtime:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.IP \(bu 2
+\fIcd [pattern]\fP: change host/group (you can use host patterns eg.:
+.UNINDENT
+.IP "System Message: WARNING/2 (docs/man/man1/ansible-console.1.rst:, line 46)"
+Bullet list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
+.sp

+\- \fIlist\fP: list available hosts in the current path
+\- \fIlist groups\fP: list groups included in the current path
+\- \fIbecome\fP: toggle the become flag
+\- \fI!\fP: forces shell module instead of the ansible module (!yum update \-y)
+\- \fIverbosity [num]\fP: set the verbosity level
+\- \fIforks [num]\fP: set the number of forks
+\- \fIbecome_user [user]\fP: set the become_user
+\- \fIremote_user [user]\fP: set the remote_user
+\- \fIbecome_method [method]\fP: set the privilege escalation method
