gollark: A lovely sample of the nicely-formatted HTML.

gollark: It is not, however, good for parsing HTML, but since TJ09 makes DC's HTML output very annoying (no convenient classes/IDs), you kind of have to use something like that.
gollark: Alternatively, downloading the HTML and parsing it via regex, but that's horrible.
