Description

Background

Syntax highlight appears the same in light and dark mode. Ideally it would use its own palette or select one of the ones from https://pygments.org/styles/ and then update updateCSS.php accordingly.

User story

As a reader I want to see code snippets in dark mode.

Requirements

A dark theme has been selected
The code snippet on https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Tracked/styles.css appears in a dark theme

This is blocked by T285859. We should open up style selection in Special:Preference and provide defaults for light and dark mode.
