Nasty HTML returned by wget-ing the link

The news item for ARM 17.0 profile migration says:
<code>if you do wish to migrate then we have written a script to
do the necessary steps for you:

https://gist.github.com/chewi/1601684ad8f3cf8de0b786c00fa09b3c</code>

which returns nasty HTML wrapping every line of the script in <tr>s and <td>s and <span>s.  Requiring navigating a web browser to a non-free website to update an embedded platform seems especially egregious.

I was trying to be helpful by using a location that provided syntax highlighting for easy viewing of the script before you run it as well as change history.
