Quote

In Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, Lou Rosenfeld and Peter Morville write:

"We define content broadly as 'the stuff in your Web site.' This may include documents, data, applications, e-services, images, audio and video files, personal Web pages, archived e-mail messages, and more. And we include future stuff as well as present stuff."

HTML and content

HTML elements provides structure for content. See Semantic HTML.

CSS and content

Cascading Style Sheets provide style for HTML elements.

Note that CSS rules do not apply directly to web content. Rather, the CSS rules apply to HTML elements, and the content inside those elements.
