Using html in :before / :after psuedo content
Raw
html-in-psudeo-content.txt
The reason for not allowing html inside the content parameter is the fact that CSS is designed to work in a
single pass-through of the page. If there were html, that would need to be styled, which means the css would
need to come back and process itself all over again to style that HTML after it was done styling everything else.
This extra functionality would rarely be used by anyone but would still come with a speed cost to everyone
