Description

Inside the description boxes, text and code snippets are in my opinion almost indistinguishable. It would be nice if the code snippets could be formatted slightly differently, for example using colour.

Example

https://lean-lang.org/doc/reference/latest//Notations-and-Macros/Defining-New-Syntax/#Lean___interpolatedStrLitKind

I've read this as

[...] like "value = { and }" in s!"value = {x}"

and had to look at the source code to realise it's

[...] like "value = { and }" in s!"value = {x}"

Start by reading the linked reference page and comparing the two attached screenshots with the displayed examples. Trace how description boxes render ordinary text and code snippets, then verify that the two are visually distinguishable without inspecting the source while preserving the documented examples.
