<h2>What?</h2>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Tabloid</strong> is a turing-complete programming
+ language for writing programs in the style of clickbait news
+ headlines.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Here are <strike>a few things</strike>${' '}<strong>the Top Five
+ Most Popular Quirks and Features</strong> of the Tabloid
+ programming language <strong>(Number Four Will Shock You!)</strong>
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Print output with the keywords <code class="inline
+ fixed block">YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS</code> followed by an
+ expression. Everything printed by Tabloid is
+ <strong>automatically capitalized, and an exclamation point is
+ added.</strong> Why would you want anything else?
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Declare a function by writing <code class="inline fixed
+ block">DISCOVER HOW TO ... WITH</code>. Truly, a more
+ gripping way to declare a function can't possibly exist!
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Assign to a variable by writing <code class="inline fixed
+ block">EXPERTS CLAIM ... TO BE</code>. On the Internet,
+ anyone can be an expert, and Tabloid gives YOU the power to
+ wield that responsibility and declare anything you'd like!
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ To return from a function, simply write <code class="inline
+ fixed block">SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT</code>! You're going
+ to—gasp!—<strong>return</strong>? How shocking!
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Every program must end with <code
+ class="inline fixed block">PLEASE LIKE AND
+ SUBSCRIBE</code>, because you have to grow your audience! <strong>Hashtag hustle</strong>.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
<h2>But why?</h2>
+ <p>
+ Didn't want to do homework for my
+ <a href="https://cs186berkeley.net/" target="_blank">database
+ systems class</a>, and needed something to do to procrastinate.
+ Will I finish the homework? Did I get enough sleep?
+ </p>
+ <p>Stay tuned to find out!</p>
<h2>Does it actually work?</h2>
+ <p>
+ Yes. Tabloid is a <strong>fully functioning, turing complete
+ programming language with an interpreter</strong> written in
+ JavaScript. Tabloid currently only supports numbers, strings,
+ and booleans, but with these elements, you can write any
+ program you'd want to write. You can edit and run the program above, or
+ <a href="https://github.com/thesephist/tabloid">see how it works for yourself</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Before making Tabloid, I also created a more <strike>useful and
+ well-designed</strike>${' '}<strong>boring and unpopular</strong>
+ programming language, called <a href="https://dotink.co/"
+ target="_blank">Ink</a>.
+ </p>
+ <h2>How much is there?</h2>
+ <p>
+ Here's the full list of non-standard keywords that Tabloid
+ currently uses, in addition to standard operators like <code
+ class="inline fixed block">PLUS</code> and <code class="inline
+ fixed block">MINUS</code>.
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><code class="inline fixed block">DISCOVER HOW TO...WITH</code> declare a function</li>
+ <li><code class="inline fixed block">WE SAID</code> begin a block scope</li>
+ <li><code class="inline fixed block">A OF B, C</code> call function A with arguments B, C</li>
+ <li><code class="inline fixed block">WHAT IF...LIES!</code> an if-else expression</li>
+ <li><code class="inline fixed block">END OF STORY</code> end a block scope</li>
+ <li><code class="inline fixed block">EXPERTS CLAIM...TO BE</code> declare or assign to a variable</li>
+ <li><code class="inline fixed block">YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS</code> print output</li>
+ <li><code class="inline fixed block">IS ACTUALLY</code> is equal to</li>
+ <li><code class="inline fixed block">BEATS / SMALLER THAN</code> greater than / less than</li>
+ <li><code class="inline fixed block">SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT</code> return from a function</li>
+ <li><code class="inline fixed block">PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE</code> end of program</li>
+ </ul>
