Code Syntax Highlighting

By default, the theme uses custom QuantEcon syntax highlighting colors for code blocks. You can switch to any Pygments built-in style instead.

Using Pygments Built-in Styles

To disable the custom code styling and use a Pygments theme:

# conf.py

# Choose a Pygments style
pygments_style = 'friendly'  # or 'monokai', 'github-dark', 'default', etc.

html_theme_options = {
    ...
    "qetheme_code_style": False,
    ...
}

Available Pygments styles include: default, friendly, monokai, github-dark, github-light, tango, vim, and many others. See the Pygments documentation for a full list.

Default Behavior

When qetheme_code_style is True (the default), the custom QuantEcon code highlighting is used and the pygments_style setting is ignored. When set to False, the theme respects your pygments_style configuration.

Dark Mode Integration

When using the default QuantEcon code style, dark mode automatically applies a VS Code Dark+ inspired syntax highlighting palette. See Dark Mode — Syntax Highlighting for the full color table.

If you use a custom Pygments style (qetheme_code_style: False), the dark mode syntax colors are not applied and your Pygments configuration takes precedence.
