Not a huge fan of this approach b/c it requires careful mouse positioning in the gutters to select an outer object instead of an inner one. But it's less of a change than e.g. replacing the string with a node-link tree diagram.

An alternative might be to always diagram the entire syntax object? For example this is @drewmikehead's equation diagram from https://chi2021demo.scholarphi.org/ . This also uses increasingly dark background colors to represent hierarchy without modifying space.pic.twitter.com/6tqTmKSIHQ

Current best idea: color effects on hover by default, then a toggleable x-ray mode which adds padding+borders to show the syntax tree more clearly (but changes document layout).pic.twitter.com/kX2dFaPOxH
