    WTF! Where is details > details > summary { ?

    This is the result of not being able to use inline style attributes (because muh separation of content and display), classic ASP procedural logic (F U WebForms and the horse you rode in on), or both.

    It turns out it was probably CSS for somebody's profiler (which, in a completely separate, headscratching WTF, wasn't getting pulled in normally...something something Git, something something submodule, something something...but still. WTF needs that many

    ?)

    You missed one.

    ...My CSS knowledge is incomplete, but if there's a way to get the value of a property assigned to a parent element, then this can prooooobably be done recursively... (margin-left: calc((depth-1)em - 2*(depth-1)px);, anyone?). Sparing me the details >.
