I often see language keywords and punctuation being emphasized, but I find emphasizing my own symbols more useful, since that is what defines my program, like nouns and verbs are the important parts of natural language. Reading code with emphasized punctuation makes me feel like I have the hiccups, pausing off-beat.
I also think emphasizing identifiers helps to see some of the structure of the code and makes it easier to notice if I misspell something.
