They put the interview in a table? Ewww. :(


Tables are good for tabular data. I'd argue that it's potentially arguable that this may actually be tabular data. Either way, now that you mentioned it, I don't know whether my knee-jerk reaction would have been that it's good or bad, or if I'd even notice it at all, heh.


It's pretty hard to argue a chat transcript as tabular data.

    <dialog>
      <dt>Sam</dt>
      <dd>Knock, Knock.</dd>
      <dt>Eric</dt>
      <dd>Who's there?</dd>
      <dt>Sam</dt>
      <dd>Justin.</dd>
      <dt>Eric</dt>
      <dd>Justin who?</dd>
      <dt>Sam</dt>
      <dd>Justin time for dinner!</dd>
    </dialog>

Huh, according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/di... , the <dialog> element represents a dialog box or other interactive component, such as an inspector or window.


You'll want to use a <dl> tag for that in html5, I suppose.
