How is HTML structured, compared to WPF?

Time:12-04

I'm getting more into learning HTML but i'm stuck not knowing nor understanding how it lays elements out. I've used WPF quite a lot, and know that this code here:

<Grid>
    <Button HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="200" Content="A"/>
    <Grid   HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="200,0,0,0">
        <Button Content="B" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="150"/>
        <Button Content="C" HorizontalAlignment="Left"    Margin="0,150,0,0"      Width="200"/>
        <Button Content="D"                               Margin="200,150,0,0"/>
    </Grid>
</Grid>

Will result in a UI looking something like: enter image description here

But i have no idea how to replicate something like this in HTML, where A's width is constantly 200 (could be pixels or dp or a more standard unit for web design) but is latched to the left, B is latched to the top constantly 150 pixels, but both B and D are resized when the web browser/view is resized (as their horizontal alignment is stretch)

From what i've learned online, HTML is structured similarly to a stack panel so I just don't get how you get that horizontally stretching behaviour

As I said, flexbox is the tool of choice for implementing such things:

.a,
.b,
.c,
.d {
  outline: 1px solid white;
  background: black;
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
}

.content {
  /*
