[slf4j-dev] svn commit: r1321 - slf4j/trunk/slf4j-site/src/site/pages

[Ceki Gulcu]

I use eclipse for coding and emacs for editing. I think that more relevant 
information is conveyed by selectively emphasizing parts of the code in bold 
than done by just pretty coloring. Pretty coloring+selected emphasis would be 
perfect. However, selected emphasis with no coloring is more useful than 
coloring but no selected emphasis.
