Description:
how this should look
Please gray out pointless text which is not going to be dislayed in an article.
It's not easy to edit an article like this http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Google_Chrome&action=edit§ion=8
Please make actual text more visible!
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
Attached:
We currently use a textarea HTML element to display the article source. That element only support one style for any text in it.
The real fix would be the Visual Editor which is under development. Have a look at:

Project page is at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Visual_editor
Pointless text will just not be shown anymore :)
The proposal here will not get implemented, hence setting WONTFIX.
A different approach to the underlying problem has been chosen: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/12/07/inventing-as-we-go-building-a-visual-editor-for-mediawiki/
