:That colour and style use would demand a short note before the first code example mentioning this. Also, in the discussion following or surrounding the text, the normal <code>computer code tag</code> should be used since using blue text in caps in body text makes the article look garsish, difficult to read, unencyclopedic and deviates from the wikipedia style guide. Also, it probably won't carry to a possible printed edition. So sure, go wild with idiomatic colours in code examples but use the conventional black-in-<code>&lt;code&gt;</code> style in the text.

::Thanks for the advice. I am applying it at the moment (include &lt;code&gt;), but I think that using black in the text would be confusing — the connection with the code extracts then disappears. Changing to code fonts, although this is not done in Eiffel documentation, should make the mix look less "garish" to you.
