My consern is the dotted borders around code. Why is the regular wiki style not enough? Especially the one-line snippets really attack the eyes. I now styling is kind of a matter of preference, but there are many reasons why standards (or de-facto standards) are used (I know, citation needed, and one can argue that the regular wiki style is bad, but it does suite millions of people after all, e.g. through Wikipedia...)

Hey folks: can I suggest the following?

# Hello, world!
print "Hello, world!"
print (a + b) * 5

I think the code examples look substantially better without the heavily dotted borders and dark-grey background. If you want borders and a background, you could just use <div style="border: dotted 1px rgb(128,128,128); background-color: rgb(240,240,240);">...</div> or something like that:

# Hello, world!
print "Hello, world!"
print (a + b) * 5

My two cents, —Thomas Larsen 02:45, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I had reservations about it too, but I couldn't find a different combination that I liked so I left it alone. Thanks for the tips, I changed the first section to Thomas's suggestion and it looks much better; I also went ahead and decided to make it a lighter solid border that doesn't look very different from a 1 pixel dotted line. Tell me what you think, if it's alright I'll change the rest too. A direct link. Jotaf 00:30, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
