Code font seems odd

[alan-knight]

e.g. in https://new-dartdocs-dot-dartlang-api.appspot.com/1.12.0-dev.5.1/dart-html/Element/dragStartEvent.html what does it mean that "dragstart" is in bold and fixed width. It's backtick-quoted in the source comment, so it presumably is how we're showing code, but it isn't obvious in the display that that's code, it just kind of looks bold.

Can you suggest an alternative here? We are assuming that fixed-width fonts mean "code" to developers.

You're right, dragstart is "code" as the author of the doc comment intended. We used a fixed-width font to signify that.

Well, I like the way github is doing it. The fixed-width font doesn't look bold, and there's a very light grey background on the text that makes it stand out a bit more. And it's consistent with how they display larger blocks

  of source code with {
    stuff
  }

It also seems slightly smaller, I'm not sure I like that, but it's ok.

gotcha. Thanks! We'll consider this as we tweak styles.

I'll take a crack at this.

@alan-knight would you expect to have inlined code spans be syntax highlighted?
