GTK is a toolkit for building GUIs.

HTML is a language for describing the semantics, structure and
relationships of documents.

When doing layout in a GUI it makes sense to be able to specify "a
grid", but that doesn't really have a place in HTML. 

Presentation of markup documents is handled by stylesheets.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying here, but it sounds like
a description of the inline-block display type.
