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.

A080782 a(1)=1, a(n)=a(n-1)-1 if n is already in the sequence, a(n)=a(n-1)+2 otherwise.
