Re: [acceleo-dev] Colors for Acceleo editor

[CÃdric Brun <cedric.brun@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback :) That was, indeed, one of the conclusion of the 
last discussion about the colors, the <% and %> are way too visible for the 
user, I also agree with the usage of the green for comments.

These little changes will have a great effect on the template developer.
