Looks like that section of the handbook is fairly out of date.
Question 66 in the emacs FAQ [1] says that it's deprecated but
included; I don't even see it in the current distributions. The same
FAQ question goes to describe how to use font-lock mode instead.
If you're looking for a good place to get started with a fancier emacs
config, I found sjrmanning's config [2] to be a wonderful starting
point.
