Your example is not beginner's tutorial at all! Nor is it something that the manual can cover. For esoteric/specific needs like this "advanced tutorials" are more appropriate. Now to answer your question, I have seen people mention htmlize.el from contrib for something like this. To integrate with LaTeX, you should be able work out a solution with some dvipng magic. If memory serves me right, there was a post from Eric[1] mentioning how to use htmlize from gnus, and a thread on dvipng in the last month. Those might help you. As for Carsten's suggestion. I agree completely. It's a jungle of tutorials, I myself get confused on that page. I'll try to come-up with a shortlist of beginner tutorials in a few days.
