I adapted the syntax highlighting according to the description above (new colours, removed different text sizes, removed background in nested elements). Here you can see the differences:

old	new

Looks great! Thanks for posting the preview. I'm not seeing it on the test instance though (sorry if you discussed this in the daily while I couldn't hear...)

It is online now. You can test it here: https://en-wmde-templates-alpha.wmcloud.org/w/index.php?title=Testing_Syntax_Highlighting&action=edit (login required).

Remove background highlighting for nested elements

Tested and it looks like the background highlighting is still there at the moment both with this and with the colorblind color scheme. This still needs to be removed

Thanks for the hint! I did not have an example with so many layers. :O

Interestingly links that are inside of an nested element get a different background-colour than links that are on their own. In this screenshot I removed all the "normal" background colours. But the links are still there.

I guess this should change as well? Do you want all links with the same background colour or remove them completely?

Ok thought more about our discussion - let's change the blue to #36c.

Documenting other outcomes:

• Yes, remove all background colors, including for links.
• Also, consider documenting the logic behind what is bolded to see if any adjustment needs to made in order to make it more consistent/communicative. Likely, we will leave bolding as-is unless there is a clear route for improvement.
