I thought stackoverflow started out as being a programming site...Let's see:
- Python documentation uses color.
- Java API uses color.
- Even MSDN has color (verifiable here.)
Now we're supposed to go ASCII retro black&white and consider that better? No amount of rationalrationale would lead me to believe that. (SO is not a .txt
file, I don't recall seeing 1 single spoiler on SO that would justify/motivate losing color in quotes.)
I don't believe the "github" comparison either, it's not meant for intense SE style interactions read over&over, but check documentation on readthedocs it has plenty of color in key quotes.
