Emphasis on inline code (Chapters 8,9,10)

I'd like some discussion on this...
I find it difficult in the PDF to distinguish inline code when it is only monospaced, so I have been adding emphasis - for example changing all ==printOn:== to ""==printOn:=="".   This is fairly easy to do, and I find it easy to type on the run, but I wonder if there isn't a better way, like modifying common.tex. Or is the principle to have common.tex and common as possible between different Pillar installations?

please don't add `""` around each `==`, that totally defeat the Pillar semantics. Better change the LaTeX template.
