HTML vs. CSS
The structure of a web page versus its visual style.
The comparisoni
“HTML defines the page structure (paragraphs, headings, links). CSS defines the style (colours, fonts, layout). Two different languages.”
The ruleii
¶
HTML = structure. CSS = style.
HTML (HyperText Markup Language): defines the document structure — what is a heading, paragraph, list. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): defines the visual presentation — colours, fonts, spacing, layout. Same content can have totally different CSS.
Memory aidiii
Remember it like this
Bones vs paint.
