The solution is to make the code less prominent. That way it's easy to read the paragraphs of prose without interruption. If one wants to focus on a code bit, it's still easily readable. Prose needs to be larger to be human-scannable, but the code bits aren't in paragraphs, so they can be smaller. Code only needs to be readable when the eye is centered on it, whereas a prose paragraph must be read with multiple saccades. Org should provide a way to make all the code bits smaller with one settings: #+begin_src elisp (custom-set-faces ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom. ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful. ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance. ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
