before i.e. #17 after i.e. …
replicate html and inline styles css update

Notes

Original method had drawbacks:

  1. redundant <hr>s Only one "horizontal rule" is necessary. Two is semantically inaccurate. If intent is styling, remember HTML is for structure and meaning, not styling.
  2. duplicate complex code As seen in #17, updating the code requires updating duplicates of old instances.
  3. inline styles Inline styling is one of the last resorts in CSS, because of a feature called specificity… basically, style has the power of a Star Wars "Star Destroyer", which makes it difficulty to properly override via a stylesheet.

This PR is just a reference. I can't technically make it a PR to merge into #17, because #17 is from a fork.
