FWIW, I played around with texinfo 7.2 and modified some examples for 
jacobi_sn to use |@example maxima|. The generated html looks like:

|<div class="example user-maxima"> <div class="group"> <pre 
class="example-preformatted">(%i1) jacobi_sn (u, m); (%o1) jacobi_sn(u, 
m) </pre> </div> |

I can't figure out how to specify a CSS selector so that we only 
highlight the "example-preformatted" class inside the "example 
user-maxima" class. I'm really terrible with html and css.
