=== Introduction ===

We now have the option of dynamically changing the syntax-highlighting to the
colors of our favorite IDE while reading
[http://beta.boost.org/development/doc/doc_test/doc/html/document_to_test_formatting/code_blocks.html the docs]
(Move the mouse to the upper righthand corner and click on the bubbles; see [http://tinyurl.com/2an9yt here] for more information.)


=== Objectives ===

Identify the most commonly used IDEs so that we include them in our docs. 
There must be no more than ten possible options. 
Maybe we can choose only five or six.

Check that the colors are right, and make the color set for the 
missing IDEs. When this first task is finished, we must came up with a 
default syntax-highlighting scheme for Boost
that may be a combination of the others. We need to choose the colors,
the font weight, etc, and write a rationale for the future 
([http://tinyurl.com/2td4su discussion at boost-docs]).
