Bug #: 35361
Summary: lisp syntax highlighting is too light
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: SyntaxHighlight (GeSHi)
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: hui...@mailinator.com
CC: soxre...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The color used by GeSHi for Lisp keywords is light yellow, so rather than being
highlighted, they seem to sink into the white background. The color used for
parentheses is light green, and it also blends with the background and makes
reading anything with non-trivial nesting a pain. As a result, pretty much any
piece of code with 8 lines or more looks like someone sprinkled a bunch of
variable names all over the page. It would be good, IMHO, to make the yellow as
dark as orange and green darker still.
Compare with the modern Emacs' Lisp mode, for example, where keywords are
purple (which is a pretty dark color) and parentheses are not highlighted at
all. It seems to be significantly more readable.
