# Container Method

This section uses a container `<div>` to create a full-width background and content that has a maximum width. Pretty easy stuff, but not all of us like superfluous markup. Keep scrolling to see how we can get around this.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.

# calc() Method

This section uses `calc()` on its left and right padding to achieve the same effect. Notice it needs a single media query to be fully responsive.

# Pseudo-Element Method

This section uses absolutely-positioned `:before` and `:after` pseudo-elements to achieve the same effect. No media queries this time around, but horizontal overflow needs to be hidden on your `<html>` and `<body>` elements.
