Org intersperses bits of code in prose, such as datestamps, drawers, keywords, etc. The code distracts when reading the prose. The solution is to make the code less prominent.
That way it's easy to read the paragraphs of prose without interruption. If one wants to focus on a code bit, it's still easily readable. Prose needs to be larger to be human-scannable, but the code bits aren't in paragraphs, so they can be smaller. Code only needs to be readable when the eye is centered on it, whereas a prose paragraph must be read with multiple saccades. Org should provide a way to make all the code bits smaller with one settings: #+begin_src elisp (custom-set-faces ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom. ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful. ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance. ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right. '(org-date ((t (:foreground "#7590db" :underline t :height 0.8 :width normal)))) '(org-drawer ((t (:foreground "LightSkyBlue" :height 0.7 :width condensed)))) '(org-special-keyword ((t (:foreground "#bc6ec5" :height 0.7 :width condensed))))) #+end_src
