Light/Dark Theme Demo with CSS Variables
      
Change your OS theme setting to light/dark to see the code highlighting change automatically.
      
This example uses CSS variables and @media prefers-color-scheme for manual theme control. Light theme uses inline styles, dark theme applies CSS variables via media query.
