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.

Invented by N. J. A. Sloane circa 1990.
Theorem (N. J. A. Sloane): in English every odd number contains an 'e'.
The first number that would appear in the British Eban list but not the American list is 2*10^21. - Douglas Boffey, Jun 21 2012
A085513(a(n)) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 23 2015

Examples

			2052 is in the sequence because written out in English words, "two thousand fifty-two", it does not contain a single instance of the letter E.
2053 (two thousand fifty-three) is not in the sequence because written out it contains two instances of E.
