Very interesting material, and everything comes thru nicely on my browser. But I was curious about how you did it, as I once tried to squish a WP8 file into HTML-- it worked on my browser but not on most others. Validator wouldn't even look at it, and made snide comments about unrecognizable codes. So I looked at your source code, and noted that it's done with WP10-- and it did a lot of things WP8 didn't. Obviously an improvement. However (based on what little I know) I suspect it's very wasteful in terms of bits/bytes-- all those spaces and line breaks don't really need to be specified-- so it's probably a much bigger file than it needs to be. (Apologies if I'm telling you things you already know. And of course, file size isn't all that crucial, though it could be if one were limited as to web space.)
