It occurs to me, I -have- seen custom HTML tags. Zendesk's knowledge base software uses them now; the WYSIWYG editor inserts them to power some of its functionality, but since they're unstyled containers they don't affect the published page.

I understand about 50% of what you're saying, so I'll take your word for it.

I could explain it in detail with images and code snippets and stuff but I'd need some sort of dedicated web space for that

Website redesign is now underway. Expect to see it in a few months because I'm slow. The outward result will be simpler, but the code will be more solid, modern, and responsive.

@pixelglade I won't talk about specifics of the layout or colors because all of that might change, but I am looking for something simpler visually than the current layout, where the content feels a little more unbounded and bubbled than the current layout.

@skep I have already desaturated the Windows 2000 desktop and photoshopped some headstones in.

Does anybody use custom HTML tags like in this article? https://matthewjamestaylor.com/custom-tags I am wondering about other people's experience with it.

I don't, but it makes sense to me, I vaguely recall that HTML and XML use a similar methodology and XML is basically nothing but made-up tags.

Biggest caveats I can think of would be to not replace semantic tags (which the article mentioned), and your code could be less intuitive for others to interpret (likely not a huge concern)

i don't use them, they feel wrong to me in a way i can't explain

@skep, Yeah the advice is not to replace the semantic tags, which I don't want to do. Problem is, even semantic tags like "section" and "article" can get really vague really fast when you're trying to figure out what is where. And since I insist on doing everything by hand I want my code to be more legible.

@irony-machine The only thing that feel really wrong to me is that you can use emoji (!!!) in them.

really late to the party but i've used custom html tags myself and they work just fine. in fact, i've used them against the spec without any problems - before i redesigned my reviews page, each review was literally a element. no hyphen or anything, so they're not necessary, but you do run the risk of creating conflicts with existing semantic tags and potentially ones that could be added in the future.

ok it turns out neocities doesn't like parsing element-like text. i meant that "each review was literally a [review] element"

@pixelglade It turns out that I misremembered. Nachos were invented on the Mexican side of the border to cater to the tastes of American restaurant customers. So pretty close. But have you tried the real game-changer: nacho tots???
