RFC: Adding syntax highlighting to the official documentation

[Jean Abou Samra]

Hi,

This might not have been very visible from the
title of the thread "ANN: Pygments support for
LilyPond", so here is a new thread with an
appropriate subject.

I'm proposing to add syntax highlighting to
our documentation. The merge request is
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/1019
An example of how it would look like is
given on the MR, and also attached to
this email. See
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/1019#note_786270004
for how to tinker with the style yourself.

For now, the proposal is exclusively about
HTML output. Werner has expressed interest
in adding highlighting to the PDF manuals as
well (and I agreed to help), but this is much
more complicated technically and it's not
clear if it should be done with colors,
black-and-white, or not at all.

Feedback is appreciated.

Regards,
Jean
