On HTML Butchering

Jen has a resume. She writes this resume in Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Word exports a butchered mockery of HTML. (Note: this HTML has been modified to protect non-Internet Explorer browsers.) Word does not encourage semantic markup. It encourages table-based layouts and makes it easy to put arbitrary styles on elements. Consider this example:

For those of you unfamiliar with HTML, that code produces something similar to this:

No, that's not a typo; it really creates a blank line on the page.

It took me a couple hours over the course of a few days to hand-create Jen's resume. The end result is 10,000 characters and 370 lines shorter, much more semantic, and does not use the character "n" in a dingbats font to simulate list bullets. Thanks, Microsoft.
