Subject: Re: [sca-bindings] Conformace point highlight color
Bryan, Thanks for starting the thread and providing alternatives. I actually prefer a shade of grey. Is there a good reason not to use grey? Works well with color-challenged technology and people. We could even use italics in addition to the grey color. I know in some SCA specs we have used italics (although not consistently) for attribute/element names/values, but I would suggest changing that and using courier new font for those. I would also like to start a discussion on the suggestion that Eric had made: to use a superscript instead of running text for the conformance item number. It does enhance the readability. -Anish -- Bryan Aupperle wrote: > > There has been some discussion over the past few weeks about the color > highlighting of the conformance points in several of the TCs.
