    Illustrates how GammaLib can be used to create HTML documents.
    
    The HTML document is composed of a main element with name 'html'.
    This elements has two childs: a 'head' child for the header and a
    'body' child for the page information.
    
    The header contains metadata in the 'meta' element and a page
    title defined by the 'title' element.
    
    The body contains arbitrary text. In this example there are two
    lines of text with different font formatting and a GammaLib icon
    that is placed in the top-right corner of the page.
