Description
Custom styling in code is currently cumbersome – to apply any, the whole HTML with <div class="codehilite"> must be written by hand. (See beginners/install:linux for example.)
There should be a way to do this more elegantly. Perhaps Pygments filters.
Note to self: HTML has a mark tag.

Research direction
Start with the linked beginners/install:linux example to understand how custom styling is currently written, then read the Pygments filters documentation. Define the supported styling mechanism and its expected output before implementing it; the work is done when custom styling no longer requires hand-written wrapper HTML.
