And I am not color blind and find Bill's formatting with underlines etc.
hard to read, so we are all different.
The easy answer is to use a standardised .css naming convention, and then
let readers override this if they wish.
.comment
.reference
.variable
etc
You can even put a button on a web page which allows the reader to select
between different css styles for the page. Also, any formatting defaults in
the script editor are just that - defaults: there to be modified. In my
opinion they should be chosen to be optimal for the majority of users,
rather than selected as some sort of multi-disability compromise that no one
finds attractive (which would defeat the purpose as no one would ever use
it).
