Dear experts,

Here is my case with machine A and B. Both have sets of playbooks. The kickoff is initiated from playbook on machine A, and it has a task to call the playbook on machine B:

- hosts: B  
tasks:

- name: Call remote playbook  
shell: \>  
ansible-playbook -i inventory playbookOnB.yml

It works, however output from playbookOnB will be streamlined and not formatted.

Any better suggestion on this use case?

thanks & Regards
