Server-side scripts? Cookies? Are we talking about syntax-color-coding 
a user's locally generated HTML-based (or maybe ri-based with terminal 
ANSI codes) RDoc-generated documentation, or color-coding the 
documentation hosted at ruby-doc.org?

The former would (should?) be a matter of picking a non-default 
template when generating the documentation. The latter...well, although 
I'm definitely pro-color-coding, I don't think it's a good idea for the 
ruby-doc archives.  Colored source that uses a different scheme than 
the one I'm used to can be worse than none at all.
