I re-read Heydon Pickering’s post on the HTML article element in the middle of writing the markup for a new website.
Heydon’s writing is so sharp and funny. Unmistakably theirs. No one else writes quite like them, and I’m here for it.

I was reading Manuel Matuzovic’s article on meta theme color and came across this snippet:
<style> :root { --theme: blue; } </style> <meta name="theme-color" content="var(--theme)" />I wish it was possible to access custom properties outside the
<style>tag in the<head>. It would keep things DRY.
