Description

All of the built-in CSS and syntax highlighted code block Themes in Rendering should support light/dark mode with [prefers-color-scheme](https://drafts.csswg.org/mediaqueries-5/#prefers-color-scheme). (The [Mozilla](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme) page has some easier to understand examples.)

Or maybe there should be light/dark variants for the preview pane, but exporting to HTML or copying to clipboard should use prefers-color-scheme.

Research direction

Locate the built-in Rendering CSS and syntax-highlight themes, then inspect how the preview pane, HTML export, and clipboard output use them. Clarify whether prefers-color-scheme or separate light/dark variants is expected; done means all built-in themes support light and dark modes consistently across the affected outputs.
