Not at all. No matter how much power you have over HTML elements using flexbox, HTML still has the ultimate say over how the document is split into HTML elements.

In a desktop-publishing program, you can just highlight some text in the linked source, and make it bold, and the layout file will remember that that part of that paragraph should now be bold (using a targeting heuristic that will mostly work unless the paragraph is severely changed.)

You can't do that with CSS.

Well you could mark every div with an individual tag, and then have a realllllyyyyy big css file. ^^'
