title: Help with HTML/CSS to make a two-column and background setup
body: <p>Hi I would like to replicate the setup. I'm currently trying to use a div for the yellow background and inside it two nested divs for the purple blocks of text. If I don't put any additional elements in the outer div the background color doesn't appear. If I put an element, just to test, I get the yellow border between the purple blocks not around them.</p>
