Mungo Jerry – “In the Summertime” ↗
many years ago, Linus Åkesson posted some arguments against using syntax
highlighting for programming – they did carve out a couple exceptions to their
position: comments and differentiating between similar looking constructs like
C’s = and == – I can’t comment on highlighting for
programming languages (although I do agree the rainbow soup result leaves
something to be desired) – but I could see a basic highlighting for markup
languages could be useful, something drastically simplified from what current
implementations try to show off – I could see using three levels: comments,
markup, and content – comments get dimmed out, all markup gets highlighted in
one color, and content is left at default
