Description

[zola]

currently inline code markup uses red color monospace font plus a red frame around it.

meanwhile code blocks/parapgraphs use a "dark mode" look.

  • i think red is not the best choice, because, being a signal color, it implies an error or something similarly bad.
  • i think the looks of inline and block code should be consolidated to a common style basis.

Research direction

No file or test entry point is named. Inspect the website styles for inline code and code blocks, compare their rendered appearance, and determine a shared visual basis; done means inline code no longer uses a red error-like treatment and its styling is consistent with code blocks.
