HTML and CSS as a Book
- HTML is like the content of a book. It provides chapters, headings, and paragraphs. Without this content, there’s no story or information.
- CSS is the book’s formatting: the cover design, font choices, margins, and spacing. It makes the book pleasant to read, but it doesn’t change the actual content.
Example:
HTML (Book Content):
htmlCopy code<h1>Chapter 1: Introduction</h1>
<p>This is the first chapter of the book.</p>
CSS (Book Formatting):
h1 {
font-size: 36px;
color: darkred;
}
p {
font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;
line-height: 1.5;
}
In this case:
- HTML gives the book its chapters and paragraphs.
- CSS determines the typeface, font size, and line spacing to enhance readability.
