Re: Feedback wanted: syntax highlighting in the LilyPond documentation

Yeah, that is also what I was starting to muse with
more seriously. Thanks for providing ready-made code.

Forgive my igorance with the inner workings of the
Internet: what does this mean in connection with GDPR
and all that? Am I right that the fact that the
information stored on the user's device serves
a purpose essential to satisfying the very request
of the user means that it would fall under PECR
exceptions to the requirement of a banner asking
for explicit consent of the user? Otherwise, as
far as I can read, the requirement is that you
must ask for permission before storing or using
the data, so this permission could be asked
to the reader just when toggling highlighting
and not for everyone reading the documentation,
right? I'm a bit at loss trying to understand
what is OK or not in this respect.

Other than that, well, there is still JavaScript.
That's may not be the thing to be most happy about, but
we could check how LibreJS handles that JavaScript,
possibly adding stylized license comments, so that
it would be no problem to those people refusing non-free
JavaScript using LibreJS/IceCat. All in all this approach
does look promising to me.

On the web page.
