I think the trick is to avoid the hr tag and to center the pages. I run a no css website https://www.pilledtexts.com/ and just have the readable content in .txt files where I can add a max width.

What's with the encoding on that website? It's virtually unreadable in my browser.

e.g. From https://www.pilledtexts.com/files/nick-land/february.txt

It's UTF-8, but the server doesn't specify that so the browser treats it as windows-1252.

Edited my nginx file to display UTF-8, should look better now

Which is pretty bad on mobile, because the lines wrap before the hard line endings, making a long-line/short-line repeating cadence which I find really difficult to read.

Honestly it's not great on desktop either.

Added a viewport tag for the html page, I may try to display the text in a page and then just link to the .txt file.

Cool, the guy who ran the no CSS club added my site.
