Well, that's precisely the matter at hand: can it, or not? The book
seems to say it's possible...I mean, it had two pictures of the site,
a before and after, both within the Apple Safari web browser (though,
curiously, no URL field), which seems to suggest such a WYSIWYG page
possible. So I'm really puzzled how that could be, how CSS could be
used to generate a page based on another page.

If it's actually not possible, then those two photos were really
misleading, especially in their before-and-after placement. Being
inside browser windows, it seemed to suggest that the code the author
provided could "dynamically" create a "stand-alone" WYSIWYG print-page
in the browser....

Ugh, I think I will just go back to website content-creation as
opposed to structural-construction and tweaking...bleh....
