            <h2>What?</h2>
            <p>
                <strong>Tabloid</strong> is a turing-complete programming
                language for writing programs in the style of clickbait news
                headlines.
            </p>
            <p>
                Here are <strike>a few things</strike>${' '}<strong>the Top Five
                Most Popular Quirks and Features</strong> of the Tabloid
                programming language <strong>(Number Four Will Shock You!)</strong>
            </p>
            <ul>
                <li>
                    Print output with the keywords <code class="inline
                    fixed block">YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS</code> followed by an
                    expression. Everything printed by Tabloid is
                    <strong>automatically capitalized, and an exclamation point is
                    added.</strong> Why would you want anything else?
                </li>
                <li>
                    Declare a function by writing <code class="inline fixed
                    block">DISCOVER HOW TO ... WITH</code>. Truly, a more
                    gripping way to declare a function can't possibly exist!
                    Similarly, assign to a variable with <code class="inline fixed
                    block">EXPERTS CLAIM ... TO BE</code>. On the Internet,
                    anyone can be an expert, and Tabloid gives YOU the power to
                    wield that responsibility and declare anything you'd like!
                </li>
                <li>
                    There are <strong>no built-in constructs for looping</strong>. The news
                    cycle is moving too fast! Nobody has time for yesterday's
                    loops or last week's break statements. If you must loop,
                    use recursion.
                </li>
                <li>
                    To return from a function, simply write <code class="inline
                    fixed block">SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT</code>! You're going
                    to—gasp!—<strong>return</strong>? How shocking!
                </li>
                <li>
                    Every program must end with <code
                    class="inline fixed block">PLEASE LIKE AND
                    SUBSCRIBE</code>, because you have to grow your audience! <strong>Hashtag hustle</strong>.
                </li>
            </ul>
            <h2>But why?</h2>
            <p>
                Didn't want to do homework for my
                <a href="https://cs186berkeley.net/" target="_blank">database
                systems class</a>, and needed something to do to procrastinate.
                Will I finish the homework? Did I get enough sleep?
            </p>
            <p>Stay tuned to find out!</p>
            <h2>Does it actually work?</h2>
            <p>
                Yes. Tabloid is a <strong>fully functioning, turing complete
                programming language with an interpreter</strong> written in
                JavaScript.  Tabloid currently only supports numbers, strings,
                and booleans, but with these elements, you can write any
                program you'd want to write. You can edit and run the program above, or
                <a href="https://github.com/thesephist/tabloid">see how it works for yourself</a>.
            </p>
            <p>
                Before making Tabloid, I also created a more <strike>useful and
                well-designed</strike>${' '}<strong>boring and unpopular</strong>
                programming language, called <a href="https://dotink.co/"
                target="_blank">Ink</a>.
            </p>
            <h2>How much is there?</h2>
            <p>Here's the full list of standard keywords that Tabloid currently uses:</p>
            <ul>
                <li><code class="inline fixed block">DISCOVER HOW TO...WITH</code> declare a function</li>
                <li><code class="inline fixed block">RUMOR HAS IT</code> begin a block scope</li>
                <li><code class="inline fixed block">A OF B, C</code> call function A with arguments B, C</li>
                <li><code class="inline fixed block">WHAT IF...LIES!</code> an if-else expression</li>
                <li><code class="inline fixed block">END OF STORY</code> end a block scope</li>
                <li><code class="inline fixed block">EXPERTS CLAIM...TO BE</code> declare or assign to a variable</li>
