HTML without CSS

HTML looks and functions well by default without the need for CSS or JavaScript. This page includes the majority of HTML elements, including semantic HTML elements, that have a unique visual style or interaction.

@jon Don't get me wrong; I'm a big fan of CSS (I was all about the CSS Zen Garden way back when), but I very much approve this message. If your stylesheet should dematerialize without warning, your markup should be able to pick up the slack.

@jon My website looks okay with no CSS, but I still prefer my seashell-color background to searing white.

I do get discouraged sometimes. I feel like the kind of web design I'm drawn to, this very basic setup, is so far from where most web designers are coming from.

@jon the HTML feature set, and the feature set from a good WIKI are the same!
