I strongly agree with this - despite everyone having better taste than everyone 
else ;-) - the whole documentation is much improved
if the style is uniform.

I'm also a bland fan.  You displease fewer of the people less of the time.

I'm amazed at how much more difficult reading docs code examples is compared to 
the IDE or Textpad (favoured editor) - because of
the font and color change.

I also feel that source-code highlighting is really, really important.

It really should be consistent throughout Boost code samples - and may even 
tempt people to change their IDE to match?

FWIW, I like blue kewords and green comments, purple 'squiggles' and red 
numerics.  I like a fixed width and this implies all bold
or all normal fonts or the point of fixed width is lost.  I like Lucida Console 
better than Courier.
