Rename the variables (in print-first-css)

[badlydrawnrob]

Pandoc Skylighting theme

1. How should our variables be named in the future?
2. How similar are these naming conventions to other highlighting tools?[^1]
3. Should I find a more specific highlight style?

To get closer to Skylighting json file:

• [ ] #67

[^1]: Unfortunately, very. See this comment for Pygments .classes and other highlighter plugins. If ever I needed to switch out the highlighter for a different one, it's going to take a fair amount of work to migrate the code.

Pygments

1. Some highlighter styles are more specific (if ... then ... else)
2. Some lump styles in together (if same colour as True)

CSS classes

11ty and Prism

Highlight.js

[badlydrawnrob]

I think the way I have things right now with a "colour palette" and then the Skylighting-specific values is the best I can hope for. If we eventually move to a different highlighter, I'd just have to replace those .classes anyway.
