   Format: MarkdownI have a bunch of ASCII graphics that I'm gradually converting to JPEGs and maybe eventually SVGs, but in the meantime … my browser shows an overly dark grey background for preformatted text. Compare the Contrasts: * [nLab version](http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/propositions+as+types) * [MWB version](http://mywikibiz.com/Directory:Jon_Awbrey/Papers/Propositions_As_Types) I think it would be optimal with no shading at all, just plain white backgrounds. Thanks, Jon

   Format: MarkdownYeah, that's a little annoying, although it least it reminds you of what needs to be made into a diagram (^_^). I notice that MediaWiki also has a dark background, just not quite *as* dark. Perhaps lightening it would help? Possibly I can find that in the CSS.

   Format: MarkdownYou can always add your own formatting to blocks using the extended Markdown syntax. It's a little tricky to demonstrate here as the local parser might get confused. If this doesn't work, look at the bottom of the [[Sandbox]] for how to do it. You add: {: style="background-color: #ffffff"} immediately after your code block _without_ any indentation. You could also make the font the same size as the surrounding text if you like with {: style="background-color: #ffffff; font-size=100%;"}

   Format: MarkdownThanks, Andrew, that will do nicely until I can get back to the drawing board. By the way, where would all those templates be documented? Jon

   Format: MarkdownWhen you edit a page then there is a long list of "stuff" over on the right-hand side. Got it? Try your other right, then. Okay, in amongst that lot are a load of links. One of those explains the syntax for this "metadata". There are some examples scattered throughout the lab where people have applied their own styles to stuff. I did a bit on the [[Froelicher space]] page. For example, if you have a lot of stuff that you want to be the same style then you can define a new class that you can use a bit like the query or standout classes.
