Footnotes

gollark: Well, you would think so, but Twitter really likes complaining.

gollark: You probably can unless a lot of people on Twitter complain.

gollark: But I mean a lot of the time phones will download a text file and not open it properly.

gollark: Well, in that case, just... serve normal HTML with minimal styling.

gollark: Also, `txt` files look bad on mobile devices and may just try and be downloadinated.
