Syntax highlighting for code blocks



You may not like it, but still. If you can’t understand the code w/o syntax highlighting, you are using a wrong language.


I think code is always understandable without highlighting. It's just harder. It's like text is almost always understandable without proper casing but it's harder to read.

The first alternative to highlighted syntax is an IMAGE with the same code, with highlighting.


I can still understand it without. It's just nicer with :)
