Inline code dificult to Identify

Inline code code → Normal Code

I’ve found this two solutions, both doesn’t works, I’m missing something or something changed in the meantime.

Inline code is hard to see

Inline code in Discourse’s markdown rendered is hardly discernible. Here’s a sequence of the word code with code formatting in every other occurrence: code code code code. It’s very hard to tell the difference. Compare for instance with how it shows on Stack Overflow: [image] And it’s even more obvious on Slack. How would one go about changing this so that inline code is noticeable?

How can I set custom colors for inline code?

Hi, currently inline code is gray-highlighted. How can I change this to make it more contrast with color text? For instance like this: [%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5] vs noticeable inline code Regards, Ivan

thx in advanced…

there are 4 settings in admin > settings that you would need to look at

I hope that helps

I can’t see any diferences:

Default code language → auto
autohlighted languages → a list
show copy button to codeblock → activated
autohighted all code → activated

option not available code-fences.

I can’t install code-fences because is a business plan.

NOTE

I also adding plain-text to the list…

As OP mentioned, inline code can be highlighted. The method still works:

1. Go to https://example.com/admin/customize/themes/1/common/scss/edit (regarding your theme URL may differ)
2. Go to the bottom of the CSS section and paste the code below:

p>code, li>code {
   color: #c7254e;
   background: #f9f2f4;
   padding: 2px 4px;
   border-radius: 2px;
}

Save. Done. Your inline text looks like this:

@IAmGav

there are 4 settings in admin > settings

this is for code blocks only (picture below). The original question was about inline text

thx for response I’ve tested your code before but I don’t know why doesn’t works in mi site:

Probably your theme is customized already and does not support this.

I use default theme (sorry for non-english text):

I’ve used the default color schema → light

I’ve just had a test on my site with Default Light theme, and it works for me. I had to refresh my page for it to display properly.

Did you add it as a new theme component? If so, did you remember to attach it to the theme? (pretty obvious, I know, but I forgot )

[hhlp]

very glad to works here now, and thx for point me in the right directions, but some problem is here, a component which is apply the them has impediment the source works, when I’ve had a more clear idea was is the component I’ve wrote here.

Regards.,

[hhlp]

I’ve found and this is the source:

→ discourse-custom-code/common at main · discourse/discourse-custom-code · GitHub

discourse/discourse-custom-code/blob/main/common/common.scss

p > code,
li > code,
pre > code {
  color: dark-light-choose($code_light, $code_dark) $i;
  background: dark-light-choose($code_background_light, $code_background_dark) $i;
}

you can do it without tweaks CSS, just use that component and modify:

• color light.
• color background light.
• code dark.
• code background dark.

NOTE

however this works for both inline code and block-code.

Seems the proper link should be Custom source code formatting component
