I presented that, sorry for not sharing a link.  You can find the code I
use for adding highlighting to Texinfo examples here:

http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?p=esy-publish.git;a=blob;f=esy-publish.el;h=cb103b78b7dd2f8d0f5260883b61bf651d0650f5;hb=HEAD#l394

Namely, the function `esy-publish-fontify-examples` takes the name of an
HTML-formatted Texinfo manual, and uses `htmlize` to markup the contents
of "example" blocks in that HTML file.

The result is very similar to the markup of source blocks in Org
documents.  For instance you can see some highlighted "examples" here:

Thank you for organizing this nice meetup!


Best,

Dear all,

Another OrgMeetup will be scheduled on the second Wednesday of October,
next week.

Previous meetup notes:
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/878r97bzs4.fsf@localhost/

URL: https://bbb.emacsverse.org/b/iho-h7r-qg8-led
Time & Date: <2023-10-11 Wed 19:00-21:00 @+03,Europe/Istanbul>
The room will be open half an hour before the official start.

During the meetup, we can:

- Give advice to new users
- Showcase Org configs or workflows
- Demo/discuss interesting packages
- Troubleshoot each-other's issues
- Discuss "Org mode" section of Emacs news (https://sachachua.com/blog/)
- Discuss anything else Org-related

Everyone is free to join the discussion/chat or lurk around silently,
listening.

We will _not_ do any recording by default.

In addition, feel free to propose topics to discuss in the replies. We
can select a couple of topics and discuss them at the beginning of the
meetup, followed by the usual flow with topics appearing in the process.
