I'm curious. Did you ask it to use tables and no CSS?

In 1996, We had only css1. Ask it to use tables to do this, perhaps.

We actually had a myriad of competing specs. CSS proper wasn't released until december 1996.

Any names for the competing specs? Maybe i could try re-prompting with that direction.

Models are trained with content scraped from the net, for the most part. The availability of content pertaining to those specs is almost nil, and of no SEO value. Ergo, models for the most part will only have a cursory knowledge of a spec that your browser will never be able to parse because that isn't the spec that won.

Nonetheless, here is a link to a list of the specs you asked for: https://www.w3.org/Style/History/Overview.en.html

Thanks for sharing that. I read through a lot of this. Interesting to read those perspectives in the context of today.
