in reply to font (ab)using?

I've already written some rant about that here, and I think that Coyo's use of the font tags is acceptable, but maybe it would be even better if there were two more special tags like <CODE>, for example <EXAMPLE_RIGHT> and <EXAMPLE_WRONG>, and let either vroom or the user adjust how that stuff is displayed in the preferences (while I must say, using green/red on white isn't a bad idea). But as the Everything engine already allows different themes to be used for each user, it's a really bad idea (IMO) to allow absolute settings for font colors etc..

    I was originally going to say that color can be useful and should be allowed without restriction, but... after reading Corion's post I have to agree that while I (and many others) use the default theme, there's a pantload of people who use alternate themes. (Hey Vroom, are there any statistics?) I like the example tags and would use them if they existed. We'd just need to come up with colors in good taste for each theme.
