This could be done, but I don't think it's worth the effort.

GNU source-highlight  can produce .texinfo code with the standard
texinfo formatting.  For example:

-----
MarQTwindow::@b{MarQTwindow}(string fileName)
@{
@i{// typical Qt front-end}
       QPushButton *quit = @b{new}
@b{QPushButton}(@b{tr}(@t{"Quit"}));
       @b{connect}(quit, @b{SIGNAL}(@b{clicked}()), qApp,
@b{SLOT}(@b{quit}()));
-----

It can produce different output for different output formats, so
it could produce colored HTML.  However, I think the .js solution
would be easier than this... and I still wish that more people --
especially more *knowledgeable* people -- were helping GDP.
