Notable alumni
gollark: This could seriously be very cool.
gollark: I could add colors and occasionally muck up the formatting slightly, have each sentence get its own header saying "Section 1, Clause 3" or something, maybe even have JS on the page subtly edit it as you scroll down!
gollark: It would actually support line wrapping, as well as Unicode, italic/bold/strikethrough, headers, external links, that sort of thing.
