Ah, so it does: actually it could do with some work: the print preview in Firefox at least doesn't look that great :-( No syntax highlights at all, and the code overflows the right side of the box rather often. In any case I'd like a consistent look and feel between our PDF's and the web page if at all possible. > I have trouble spotting comments against the colored >> background. > > That is the idea (maybe it was a bad idea but the rationale was that > the comments > do not get in your way until the moment you want to read them) Oh, I always read the comments first and the code after ! > I now it is too subtle, I am weak for pastels colors :) > I recommend that others try his own combination and then we choose... > If not we will be doing this for all life ;) :-) Here goes then: http://johnmaddock.co.uk/test/boost_bimap/one_minute_tutorial.html is lacking the new top banner, but has almost the same colors as your version, just a touch darker here and there. I've also moved the callouts down to a 0pt offset so that they line up with the right line :-) For comparison, here's the same scheme rendered as a PDF: http://johnmaddock.co.uk/test/bimap.pdf albeit with all the images missing - I couldn't be bothered to fix those up, sorry!
