- * I'm in awe of this absolutely disgusting hack that I came up with.
- * The thing is, I have a number of "items" in my footer, which are
- * essentially pieces of text.
- *
- * I want them separated with a vertical line. At first, I just placed a
- * literal vertical bar symbol | between items. This worked well enough until
- * items started to overflow. So I tried to use border-left on all but the
- * first item, which got rid of the inconsistent wrapping of the | symbol. But
- * I didn't want the wrapped items to have a border, I just wanted the border
- * between items on the same line.
- *
- * The solution you can see below. The flex container has a background-color,
- * and a column gap of 1px, emulating a border. The items have the same
- * background-color as the footer, which concludes the trick. I'm sure it'll
- * break, let's see how.
