You’re certainly already acquainted with document editors like Microsoft Word with which you can structure your document with titles paragraph lists tables images bold and italic text.

HTML provides roughly the same elements of formatting. The key difference is that formatting text in Microsoft Word is visual whereas HTML code is purely semantic: you provide meaning to your text.

The same way you use notes to write music you use HTML to write webpages.

While HTML is about defining the content of a webpage CSS is about styling a webpage. It means setting colors fonts dimensions margins positions of a webpage’s elements.

CSS brings a webpage to life by applying a coat of paint on its static content and elevates its purpose through color space emphasis and motion.
