Indeed, the patch worked without a hitch.

You probably know it already but it may be useful to mention it here.
An external style sheet can be specified using the <link> tag.

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css" />
</head>

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_howto.asp
The user can specify the location of the external CSS file as an
argument to EnhancedHTMLLayout. The output of EnhancedHTMLLayout would
contain a link to this location. We could also place a default CSS
file on our Apache server. So if no style sheet were specified, the
default one would be used. Note that the link can point to a local CSS
file allowing the user to have complete control over the output style.

That could be easily achieved by marking DEBUG event in a special
"debug" class. Similarly, event of level INFO would be making as
belonging to the "info" class and so forth.
