These idiosyncratic blue fonts should ''really'' be removed. It doesn't make any difference what Eiffel's own documentation uses for formatting conventions: ''this'' is an article on Wikipedia, which has its own set of typographic (and other) style conventions. There would be a case for exact colors (well, as exact as web rendering can be) if this were on [[Color Forth]] or the like: i.e. something where colors are part of the actual program semantics. But that is not true of Eiffel. <font color="darkgreen">[[User:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters|LotLE]]</font>×<font color="darkred" size="-2">[[User talk:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters|talk]]</font> 19:41, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 
:I appreciate the desire for consistency, but faithfulness to the subject matter should always supersede other criteria. Let me again ask you not to redefine Eiffel. The font conventions are part of the language rules. Eiffel is not just a programming language; it is a certain way of thinking about software and describing it. In particular, it is a language for publication of programs. I appreciate the desire for consistency, but faithfulness to the subject matter should always supersede other criteria.[[User:Bertrand Meyer|B-Meyer]] 21:38, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
