I'm not trying to be rude or unappreciative, but it's kinda crazy to me that the website itself doesn't contain the demo of the thing? I see sample code to implement it on my own site, but the site itself doesn't seem to have any highlighting or I highlighted some text and didn't see anything unusual? Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm missing something here? I'd like to see an example of what a thing does before straight up installing the code on my website.
That's what I assumed, but when I pasted this JS snippet from the blog post into the playground (ctrl+f "playground", selects JS) on the project page (https://davatron5000.github.io/microlighter/)
The highlighting looks completely different. I assumed the top-level commenter was being mildly obtuse, but it looks like they were (perhaps incidentally) correct
For me, a little highlighting goes a long way. I don't like my code looking like a box of Crayola crayons. Throwing in multiple fonts doesn't sound helpful at all.

The site linked to is a blog post about the app. The actual site is linked in there, and if you follow that link there are examples.
OP probably should have put an example in this post. That said they look like... syntax highlighted code.
The code snippets are highlighted, presumably using microlighter?

#section in italics because it contains a bug I've not yet fixed
Or even setting bold would be nice.
yeah, although text-stroke and text-shadow probably work even better with fixed width code since it avoids changing line lengths.
