Of course, but you still need to add the various classes to all elements,
and given that the <style> section is so small

  <style type="text/css" media="screen">    em   { font-style: normal;
}    em.b { color: #7890f0; }    em.f { color: pink;    }    em.l {
color: lime;    }    em.r { color: red;     }    em.t { color: aqua;
 }    em.w { color: white;   }    em.y { color: yellow;  }    body {
   background-color: #000000;      color: #00FF00;      padding: 0 0 0
1em;      white-space: pre;      font-family: "Source Code Pro",
monospace;      font-optical-sizing: auto;      font-weight: 400;
font-style: normal;    }  </style>

that making the pages self-contained seems to be a not too bad solution.
