No that is not what I am saying please re-read what you are quoting.

I am saying that this....

"a computer program that establishes the format of text and graphics on the computer screen when a website is viewed "

.....is applicable to browsers not HTML.. so I am saying it is browsers that fall in this area not HTML meaning it that code base is copyrightable.

However if someone is doing something unique and different and you copy it they may be able to come after you.

What would be unique in HTML and CSS?

How many ways are there to set up an HTML page? Think about it.

Oh wow he floated a div and gave it a margin and padding and defined a min-height and width. Wish I had thought of that first so I could do it too.
