Yes, this is all we need: 1. Look up BACKEND in `org-latex-src-block-backend' 2. Look up LANG in `org-latex-BACKEND-langs' 3. Suffix `@example' with the looked up LANG translation. > Maybe we can move cautiously and simply refrain from overengineering the > area until the dust settles on texinfo side.

HIGHLIGHT_SYNTAX may change, but that is out of scope of Org. TL;DR All stars are perfectly aligned, and we can do the right thing.
