Re: Feedback wanted: syntax highlighting in the LilyPond documentation

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Robin,

as far as I know the Lilypond Documentation does not specify the font to be 
used for this. So the system defaults to a standard monospace font.

So the font will depend on the system. We could ship a dedicated font with the 
documentation, but I'm not sure if we want that.

Cheers,
Valentin
