A lot of people are arguing that HTML burns more tokens than markdown. It's true but you can save at least 40% by externalizing the CSS to a template with <link rel="stylesheet" href="./styles.css">. This style.css is your formatting so the LLM will never output CSS again.

But look at how many lines of code we shipped 🤣

I have visions of a "workaround stack" which is just layers upon layers of catching edge-cases without ever addressing core logic and we end up with some Rube Goldberg-ass codebases.
