CSS is not a good language
Post Body

Just putting that out there.

Seriously though, if you've been seeing the sub do some weird things with the formatting, it's mainly because I'm trying to improve the layout. This can only be done with CSS, which not only doesn't allow for simple descriptions of repeated code (every decent programming language has functions or subroutines or macros or something), but is so bad that there are programming languages that generate CSS for you. In fact, I'll be using "Less" now.

Anyway, when a language fails to describe most basic things, there needs to be some mechanism for extending it, and this is a common problem in programming languages, though CSS has it worse than most. If you're not familiar with programming, imagine a spoken language that only gave you a few words that you could conceivably use to describe the things you want, but it takes much longer, and you can't add new words.

Imagine describing art or science in pure Toki Pona, without the charm.
