cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A080458 a(1)=4; for n>1, a(n)=a(n-1) if n is already in the sequence, a(n)=a(n-1)+4 otherwise.
