True. But what about the reverse? Should the theme assume a light background and dark font? e.g. `pandoc --print-highlight-style pygments` gives: ``` "text-color": null, "background-color": null, ```

Anyway, I've added a `highlight-style-dark` option, which seems like the best solution anyway. I haven't really evaluated the different dark themes we have, is `breezeDark` the most neutral one? I...

Ah, by not setting background-color on pre, and code at all, I actually got the invert approach working: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/pull/7226

Update: that color-inverting approach (in the other PR) works okay with light themes (like the default pygments), but looks quite horrible in dark mode when applying a dark theme e.g....
