Some suggestions for the choice of colours when using LaTeX #32

Closed dlejay closed 3 years ago

dlejay commented 3 years ago

I am a daily user of LaTeX + edge.

As a LaTeX user, I am super grateful that edge has dedicated LaTeX colouring.

There is one case where the choice of colours is not optimal in my opinion: when drawing a diagram with tikzcd, the block of code is usually a mix of red and orange. Red because all texMathCmd are RedItalic. Orange because texMathZone is Special and texTabularChar is SpecialChar.

I have a couple suggestions to make this easier to read:

  1. (big change) I believe the colour Red is the most visible colour to the human eye and it should be used sparingly. Perhaps, one could assign a different colour to texMathCmd
  2. (small change) The colour assigned to texTabularChar should not be too close to the one of texMathCmd and texMathZone so that the eye can navigate easily in of tabular environments.

I'd suggest you to open a PR though, because I don't use latex, so this file type is only basically optimized, there might be some flaws. If you often use latex, I think you can make better decisions on colors than me.

But of course if you are somewhat busy recently, I'm going to optimize latex based on your suggestions when I have time.
