Describe the issue:
The background of sections surrounded by "Div attributes" in visual mode for Positron is difficult to distinguish from other parts because it is not highlighted unlike in RStudio.
I would like to change the font size for the contents of chunks separately from the main text in the visual mode for Positron.
Expected or desired behavior:
- I would like to set a different background colour to the parts for div attributes like in RStudio.
- I would like to set a different font size to R chunks from the main text like in RStudio.
Could anyone please help with these issues? Is it possible to achieve them just by changing the settings.json?
Thank you very much in advance.
