If it’s a matter of group consensus

It should be, of course if there's a consensus against it, we can revise it and, of course, discuss it. Problem is how to achieve such a poll.

I would add a vote against the colored backgrounds. As a professor, it is not helpful when teaching - I’ll introduce that topic when appropriate.

Please introduce it ASAP :) I wanna get your point.

And a primary stated purpose of the help files is to allow easy copy/paste code examples, so they should focus only on the object of help file, not any additional GUI design enhancements.

You, I really don't get your point. It kinda makes sense to me if you're reffering to lots of "crazy" or "all over the place" so called *GUI design enhancements*.

If/when you properly introduce your point, I would like a more detailed explanation of this. Because, as it is, I don't see how any help file is making it hard or harder to copy examples from it. I would really hope to get a particular example, if possible. Otherwise, it's really vague.

You see, what we really have so far, in terms of design enhancements it's the *occasional* use of something like a bang or a toggle here and there. Many help files haven't really changed! Before this change, you had message boxes with "bang" or "1"/"0". Did the inclusion of such iemguis made it harder for someone to copy/paste from some of the help files? How so? Moreover, does it make a difference (in terms of making it easier or harder) if someone copies an example with background color "A" or "B"?
