How about prominent? E.g., "Make this prominent in the interface."

That's definitely the right concept. Wonder how I'd verbify it for the heading, "Prominent-ize the snippet"? :-)

Yes, I could use helping words, "Make the Snippet Prominent", (I thought "make" was a helping/auxiliary verb, but I just checked and it's not), but I do try to get more specific than that.

Oh, this would work: "Display the Snippet Prominently" -- As Professor Henry Higgins sang, "By George, she's got it!"

Thanks!
