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.

A272702 Number of active (ON, black) cells in n-th stage of growth of two-dimensional cellular automaton defined by "Rule 513", based on the 5-celled von Neumann neighborhood.
