2

3

4
+ * Guiding principles
5
+
6
+ ** Don't distract
7
+ - Extremely subtle colours
8
+
9
+ ** Let syntax-highlighting do some work for you
10
+ - Syntax highlighting is distracting, but it does serve a purpose.
11
+ - Cryptic errors arise from unclosed comments and unterminated strings.
12
+
13
+ ** Important things stand out
14
+ - Highlighting Keywords, types and builtins provides a mental note
15
+ to self that you haven't mistyped
16
+ - giving a different color/formatting style to links helps too.
17
+
18
+ ** Unimportant things dont
19
+ - Comments are often useless when coding
20
+ - Doc-comments are slightly more usefu
21
+ - These stand out a little more than normal comments

27
+ * Get involved
28
+ - Emacs has several font-faces. You can see this using
29
+ #+begin_verbatim
30
+ M-x list-faces-display
31
+ #+end_verbatim
32
+
33
+ - If you are on a particular word and wonder what highlighting it
34
+ uses, use
35
+ #+begin_verbatim
36
+ M-x describe-faces
37
+ #+end_verbatim
38
+
39
+ - If you feel =eltbus= is doing a bad job with it, add another entry
40
+ for it and send me a PR. If it is subtle enough, I will pull
You can’t perform that action at this time.
