1
Create the HTML skeleton with container and two sections
Create a basic HTML5 page with lang="en", meta charset="UTF-8", and meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0". Inside the <body>, add a <main> element with a class="container mx-auto p-4 flex gap-4". Inside <main>, add two <section> elements with id="tailwind-box" and id="bootstrap-box" respectively. Each section should contain a <h2> with the text "Tailwind Box" or "Bootstrap Box" and a <p> with some placeholder text.

Make sure to include the lang attribute in the <html> tag and add the required meta tags inside <head>. Use a <main> container with Tailwind classes for layout.
