FosseryWeb progress report:
All Java cheatsheet pages are now generated using the new page-builders tool, to make the code more consistent, and also to test the tool, discover bugs, edge cases. HTML, CSS and JavaScript cheatsheets will also be regenerated, although the CSS ones have a bit more "unique" elements like images, figures consisting of HTML and CSS code, etc., will see if I can make those be generated with the tool, or if they will still require manual work.
