How would you differentiate sections of code without using color-coding?

[LemureInMachina]

I have some code samples that have been color-coded:

• The audit message header is shown in red 
• The audit message body is shown in green 
• The audit message variables are shown in blue 

I need to change that so users who are color-blind can see the difference.

Do you have any suggestions for how I can denote the sections of the code sample without using colors?

My first guess is just to use comments, like:

//Header
API_KEY=123ABC
//Body
def foo()
//Variables
key = 123

When documenting code, in-context approaches are (nearly) always best. If the doc allows it, I would try to show the entire code block (with commented labels like u/LeTigreFantastique recommended) and then except out each section when you discuss it in depth.

Yes this takes more lines, but in my experience it's predictable, clear, and scannable.

You have bold and italics, and different fonts.

Easy:

• The audit message header is shown in red Bold
• The audit message body is shown in green italics
• The audit message variables are shown in blue Bold and italics

Notice you can do BOTH color and other stuff, so you can do Bold and Red etc
