Showing command line output on a html page

Question

I am building a web app which runs certain commands on the terminal and display the results back on web app. I am able to run commands using child_process.exec and fetch the results the problem i'm facing is while displaying it on an html page.

I want something like this:

Is there any way to show the command line output like this ? Any leads would do. Thank you.

#container {
  background-color: #000000;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  max-width: 400px;
  max-height: 400px;
  padding: 3em;
}

#content {
  color: #ffffff;
  font-size: 16px;
  font-family: monospace;
}

<div id="container">
  <div id="content">
    <p>Hello world</p>
    <p>Hello world</p>
    <p>Hello world</p>
    <p>Hello world</p>
