Help:Syntax Highlight

Syntax highlights are of preference for many users because of the visual clarity they help give the WikiEditor. Normally, the input section is uniform in color, black text on a white background – Standard wall-of-text monotony even aside, the "start and end tag" structure of most wikitext components can quickly become difficult to keep sense of. Accentuators help break up the individual elements, making them easier to track and identify.

By default, the DotsSyntaxHighlighter is enabled as an active Gadget. This script gives all the major syntax types color-coded background fills while using the source editor. You can toggle it off or back on in your user preferences.
