On: Turning off syntax highlighting

> Given 100% control over typography, how would you format [code] to maximize readability

There was a book on this, whose title I'm blanking on. Anyone remember? Color wasn't an element, since it was an older book focusing on printing on paper.

Kinda rings a bell for me, although not from a book, but some LaTeX manual. Maybe this helps: http://tug.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/algorithm2e/doc/alg...

That wasn't it, though that looks relevant for anyone thinking of working on this problem. Thanks for the pointer.

Bjarne Stroustrup's C++ book used a proportional font with tabular spacing.

So did the book I was thinking of, but it tried more fancier stuff too and iirc reported on some experiments in code reading.
