* Instead of specifying a "theme", provide values for the HTML document parts.

loSbHead = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')

loSbHead.AppendLine("<head>",lnBCrlf)
loSbHead.AppendLine("<style>",lnBCrlf)

loSbHead.AppendLine("</style>",lnBCrlf)
loSbHead.AppendLine("</head>",lnBCrlf)

* Each HTML section can be set individually.
loOptions.UpdateString("docType","<!DOCTYPE html>")
loOptions.UpdateString("rootElement",'<html lang="en">')
loOptions.UpdateString("head",loSbHead.GetAsString())
loOptions.UpdateString("bodyStart",'<body>' + CHR(10) + '<div id="content"')
loOptions.UpdateString("bodyEnd","</div>" + CHR(10) + "</body>")

* We can add extra content to the bottom of the HTML head and body sections like this:
* Here we are using the Cloudfare Prism "coy" theme for code syntax higlighting.
loOptions.UpdateString("extraHead",'<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/prism/1.29.0/themes/prism-coy.min.css" />')
