Take a look at https://wl.widelands.org/wiki/WikiSyntax/ where this screen shows my adjustments: In Forum it will look like this: In the first post the contrast isn't very well, but could be seen anyway. What do think about this? If you like it, i will place a bugreport on launchpad with the appropiate adjustments. Top Quote

I think with the current forum color, the difference is already pretty good. What is about code blocks for some `single words` (syntax: grave accent `)? Could you give an example of how this would look? "Only few people know how much one has to know in order to know how little one knows." - Werner Heisenberg Top Quote

Another thing I noticed in your screenshot is that the padding above headings is smaller than the padding below headings. It should be the other way around. This would be a different fix though.

Could you give an example of how this would look? Good point. Because backticks and codeblocks are parsed different into html, we could make different formats to each possibility. Assuming the backticks are used to format a word in a sentence, we could make it as follow: Screenshot: End Screenshot The changes in base.css are: In section `pre` add the missing lines and add a new section `p > code`: `pre { white-space: pre-wrap; background-image: url("../img/black50.png" ); padding: 5px 10px; margin: 5px 10px; display: inline-block } p > code { background-image: url("../img/black50.png" ); padding: 0px 3px; }` `padding: x y` puts a little space between backgroundborder and innertext. x=top/bottom; y=left/right `margin: x y` is for little space around the box. The meaning for x and y are the same as by padding. The selector `p > code` catch only those "code" elements which are after a p-Element (when code is child of p). This is the case to all text in backticks. Top Quote

I also like how the text in backticks looks like. We now have to hope that people use this syntax to highlight their code.

I don't know if this is a main stopper for my suggestion. For the wiki we could allways implement it imho Edited: 2014-12-07, 22:37 Top Quote

This branch will also fix some failures with smileys. Screens how it would look like: Codeblock in Wiki: Smiley's in wiki: The above shown possibility couldn't be made today, because smileys are ever replaced, even if they are in a codeblock. This picture shows, that codeblocks will also work in the forum (dark background) Top Quote

So i ommited codehighlighting. Top Quote

Nice that you fix it. Code higlighting: I have never written such big code blocks in the forum that this would have been necessary.
