There seems to be widespread misconception about what HTML and CSS
are. Somehow people seem to think that they are both complete
programming languages, or perhaps that they are both magic.
When somebody ask a question like the OP's, it's not possible to
answer because the question itself is so wrongheaded. (I'm not
putting down the OP for ignorance: we all start out ignorant.)
We see frequent requests to do this or that completely irrelevant
thing in HTML or CSS, where people seem to know no more than the
four or three letters.
Is there any nice words-of-one-syllable explanation, in no more than
two paragraphs, that we could refer people to?
