Building a Hexagonal Grid in CSS

Putting nice markup (or even OK formatted text) into SVG has been a pain for me.

I put an SVG background, then layer the HTML over it.

It works but, I'm not happy about it.

I'm familiar with those docs. That method was a poor experience for my mobile users. SVG support on mobile is not that great. Sadly FF had the most issues so I'm stuck with my workaround for now.
