== css as a replacement for html? ==
Hello everyone!

I would like to know if there is interest in the css replacing the html. When I say that: "if there is interest in the css replacing the html", I wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to use html for text markup.

Much of the html should be text, but html these days is just as complex as it was xml, sgml.

One of my perceptions today is that part of a hypertext is being realized by css. For example css animations, css interactions.

In that sense, I don't imagine that in a few years developers will opt for html. Many people who developed things on the web, calmed down the xml. Saying that xml was a complex and difficult to use format. Over time, some said that html was xml simplified.

Now, using the present and future argument. I imagine something simpler than html is the css format. Although css is a visual format and not for hypertext, css has a lot that html lacks, like interactions and animations.

Some would say the html should be just text, but it's not. If there are hyperlinks within the css, in my view css can definitely replace html.

It is currently possible with CSS to import and create CSS components natively and is supported by any current browser. Creating componentization with html is complicated and not always supported by browsers. In that sense, I imagine that the css format is far more applicable to text than it would be to html.
