I vote YES for syntax colouring as I've never seen anything else that makes code easier readable and in consequence more comprehensible especially to others. At this level I would describe syntax colouring as a no-brainer.
I understand that someone feels no need to use syntax highlighting for himself, but it should be clear that he'll do a favour to others by providing it. --[[User:DMacho|D.Macho]] 11:29, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
: Yes, provide it as an option (or even as the default), but don't force the user to use it or provide no means to toggle it; the example shown below not withstanding.
I'm not voting, but if color highlight is really undesirable, here's a compromise: go to your RC preference page, select "Appearance", then "custom javascript", edit and add the following:<lang javascript>

Thanks. When I uncommented that one line, it did exactly what I wanted, but still allowed me to use highlighting when I want it.
<br>It receives a nag message when using I.E., however, but I
<br>I would quote the script error, but I don't know nuttin' about nuttin' in Javascript, and it may just be something in my environment.
<br>I have since found that when browsing other webpages using I.E. (not just Rosetta Code), I'm receiving the same error and it's becoming a pita. [Error: object doesn't support this property method; Code: 0; URL: http://www.imbd.com/]. Usually, two such errors are presented, and then I.E. proceeds to display the page ok.
<br><br>I wish this code (as is) would be present without having to install in all my preferences, which would give the viewer a choice (and presumably, the default would be highlighting). As someone else said, I don't like to have highlighting forced on my viewing of source code, having the toggle allows me a choice. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 20:31, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
