Of course, this meme has already travelled all over the web. You can read more at

Why is this important? For me, mainly CSS debugging. It should also be useful when developing complex DHTML.
Eureka.

(HTML is OK. Two linebreaks are converted to a <p>, one linebreak to a <br />. Represent all occurrences of <, >, and & by character or entity references, i.e. <, >, and &.)
