+        This "empty" link element is used as a dynamic inject placeholder for the syntax highlighting css styles:
+        1. The highlight.js lib finds this element by its 'code_theme' class.
+        2. The lib dynamically defines the 'href' attribute and its value to load the required CSS for the detected language by its detection logic.
+        3. This allows it to do at runtime theme switching without havint to modifying the DOM structure.
+        4. The 'href' attribute is empty to prevent unnecessary HTTP requests.
