💬 Add a suggestion. What's your favourite colour theme?

Syntax highlighting colours. We're currently using a slightly modified version of Breeze Dark, and have options for Pandoc's default breezedark and Monokai (deprecated). I'm sure we can do better!!

However, it takes quite a lot of time to properly set the --color-code-* variables and testing our with Pandoc's Skylighting compiler. There's some restrictions and our colours aren't going to be as accurate as Visual Studio Code. You can see all the current Pandoc themes here.¹

If anyone has tried to create their own theme, please do share it with everyone here.

Footnotes

1. If you have Pandoc installed you can list all the styles with pandoc --list-hightlight-styles and view the json for each theme like this. I'm currently hardcoding it into the skylighting.less file because there's no way to use --color variables in the json. ↩
