I think this could be a very nice feature. It might be worth trying to make this as a plugin, at least initially, because it will introduce a new dependency (pygments I assume). If some coordination is required like a new hook or a way to detect which part is source code, I'm sure patches like that would be possible to merge into the core right away. > In the following example below that would mean the three lines I marked on > the right side with '<'.

There's probably a few options here to try out, one as you suggest or try just having the 'E' in red or maybe even something else. Only trying it will show which works better I guess. > Just let me know what you think.

No worries, feel free to ask questions here or on IRC.
