The tools that PragProg provide to write a book are absolutely fantastic. For referencing code segments, they support different ways and you can choose the way that you prefer. I like the numbered bullets. I've seen it in other books from some years ago so I wouldn't say that it's new. But I certainly agree with you that it's effective.
