**god** generates a tagName-only CSS stylesheet which lays out your standard HTML into a flexible wireframe made of three _prongs_.
Since we're doing things **the elioWay** - as discussed in [eliosin](/eliosin) - our attention is now focused on tagNames, not classNames.
**god**'s job is to style the layout of the tagNames you have chosen to be part of your eliosin theme.
# Prongology
Behind the scenes, **god** divides the pages into three columns, which we call _prongs_.
- the _prong_ on the left is called _hell_
- the _prong_ in the centre is called _pillar_
- the _prong_ on the right is called _heaven_
In **god**'s settings file, you choose which tagNames go into which _prong_. Any tagNames "pronged" (i.e. mention in **god**'s settings file) will be known as _believers_.
You write your HTML with no class names, and with your _believers_ written as siblings of a parent HTML element, called the _container_; preferably `body` or `body>main`.
**god** positions your content in the chosen _prong_ and does all the responsive stuff web developers need for mobile development.
I'm in heaven.
I'm in the pillar.
# Nutshell
**god** - in principle - works in elioWays:
- tagNames are selectors, not classNames.
- In a setting file, you list some tags in the _pillar_, some in _hell_, some in _heaven_
- **god** writes you a css stylesheet which lays out ...
- ... all the tags in the pillar down the centre of the page
- ... all the tags in hell hanging on the left side of the page
- ... all the tags in heaven hanging on the right side of the page
# Dogma
1. **god** shall only be used for page layout. _Style your own forms_.
2. **god** layouts shall target tagNames not classNames.
3. _pillar_ _hell_ _heaven_ shall be siblings of the same _container_.
4. _pillar_ tags shall be laid-out as an equal-width, centred column.
5. _hell_ tags shall be laid-out left and _heaven_ tags shall be laid-out right.
6. No _hell_ _heaven_ shall be laid-out higher on the page than the _following_ sibling _pillar_ in the HTML source (examples coming).
7. _pillar_ content shall wrap when overlapping _hell_ _heaven_.
_Terms and conditions apply. **god** retains the right to change these rules at a whim._
