Another thought: both beamer and KOMA-Script have a paragraph class for 
programming code to which you can apply bold/italic/underline and colours.

Not sure how much effort it would take but you would get high quality examples 
in the PDF using this paragraph style: you could also take screenshots of the 
PDF if you wanted to create images of the HTML code.
