That's really annoying because you can't copy/paste it which you'd ordinarily want to do at a site like this. I guess that's intentional to stop you using lots of bandwidth by scrapers though, and it was probably a nice toy project to play with rendering of graphics.

What? It's in the html in plaintext, and this method takes far more bandwidth.

Ah ok yes, it is in plaintext - it's just not selectable because there's an image created too. Worst of both worlds really then.
