	sub(/ ]/, "")
	gsub(/},/, "")
	$0 = gensub(/'(.*)',/, "\\1", "g")
	$0 = gensub(/'(.*)'/, "\\1", "g")

}

Pipe input in, for example with curl:

curl -s https://gist.githubusercontent.com/rlemon/d31b352f953b6b583960/raw/57beb33f85cf7a3a3c06532b813d1b8685b199bc/gistfile1.txt | awk -f maker.awk

output in "retarded html"

Now with place numbers!
