I read the documentation which I found indeed better than Companion2ed.

The "pretty printing [I] am trying to do" is reproducing TeXShop's 
source file. (I finally got hooked by my own petard and had to agree to 
write … the intro to LaTeX that I would have liked to have last year.) 
For instance, I would like to be able to write stuff like

Say you want to Boldface the word "text". Select "text", Go Window > 
LaTeX panel > Typeface > Bold. Observe that, in the source, "text" is 
now the argument of \textbf{ }. Typeset.

in which "text" appears in Helvetica rather than between quotes, \textbf 
appears in blue Helvetica and the curly braces in green.

So far, though, I have only been able to get what follows which is still 
far off the mark.

\documentclass[11pt]{book}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}
\usepackage{color}
\begin{document}

\DefineShortVerb{\|}
This text is within DefineShortVerb, \Verb+this text is in verbatim, + 
and this is more text within DefineShortVerb.
\UndefineShortVerb{\|}

\begin{Verbatim}[commandchars=\\\{\}]
This text is within Verbatim, \textcolor{red}{this is Red Text within 
Verbatim,} and this is more text within Verbatim.
\end{Verbatim}


This is body text while
\begin{Verbatim}[fontfamily=helvetica]
this text is in helvetica, the font used in the text file in TeXShop.
\end{Verbatim}
this is more body text.

\end{document}

Best regards
