      Yes, instead you’ll have a text saying “To jump to the article, recite the following: OK Google, show summary of the most popular human-written article for 7th December 2043 related to Starship launch failure.

      Of course. The modern way is

      <div class="inline text-blue-700 underline" onclick="window.location.href='https://Malware_Ransom_@is.gd/_40795251_Penis_Free_Movies_'">Click here</div>

            It’s essentially just a bunch of pre-made css classes that do a specific thing that you mix and match from.

            AFAIK the programmatic part is so your served CSS file will only include the classes you actually use, rather than all available ones. You could always just not do that.

            It always seemed to me like one of the least overengineered front end tools.
