When employing color in printed text, or print requivalent text, please be considerated of your readers who are color blind or have attention problems related to color.
For the former you need to provide a way to completely remove color from the material without making it un-readable. For example, in the colorized code shared earlier, and depending on visual imparment, words that are in color could be completely missing for some readers. For, the later group, a way to opt out of colorization should be considered a requirement. I have seen text books that I personaly cannot read because some who owned the book before had taken a hilighter to.

I'm proposing to add syntax highlighting to our documentation. The merge request is https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/1019 An example of how it would look like is given on the MR, and also attached to this email. See https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/1019#note_786270004 for how to tinker with the style yourself. For now, the proposal is exclusively about HTML output. Werner has expressed interest in adding highlighting to the PDF manuals as well (and I agreed to help), but this is much more complicated technically and it's not clear if it should be done with colors, black-and-white, or not at all. Feedback is appreciated. Regards, Jean **
