This is most easily done with a CSS stylesheet associated
with your HTML output. You can do that with the
'html.stylesheet' parameter. If you look in the generated
HTML output, you'll see each element is output in a <div
class="elementname">, which makes writing css stylesheets
that style specific elements easy.  If you put your source
code in <programlisting> elements, and create a CSS
stylesheet that styles div.programlisting, then you can get
what you want.
