I made the #curl manpages on the website show the examples snippets using a grey background to "stand out" a little better:

https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html

It made me spot that they often get a leading blank line so now I have a pending PR to fix that as well...

in dark mode, the example text is in white. White-on-light-gray is very low contrast, making the examples hard to read. (Firefox on Android)

This is like the "oh this code looks fine" *turns on visible whitespace* "MY EYES" meme

looks like the background only goes as far as the wrapping-limit, but the code goes past that, so the highlight stops in the middle of the command. Commands that are shorter than that also get a wider background than needed.

I was giving training all week, and was using the curl command, its man page and your site of documentation done well.

Followed by the warning, not all projects do it so well.
