The oddities are caused by re-using the function names `box' and
`triangle' as plot options, right?

I don't think there is a great way to fix this using the approach of
highlightjs, but I am happy to be proven wrong.

Of course, we could write a printer that provided hints as to the
purpose of each symbol...

I don't think the fault is with syntax highlighting, but rather an
incomplete list of symbols.

Failing an improved list, it would be worth figuring out how to add a
widget to the web pages that disables syntax highlighting.
