Visit any website in Chrome or Firefox, right click on any element (ex. an image) and select Inspect.

This will open up the developer tool an shows the HTML code for this element.

Viewing the source

Visit any website in Chrome or Firefox, right click on any place in the website and select View Page Source.

This will open a new tab with the complete source of the HTML document. You could use this to copy over the source of a Gutenberg book and add your own flavor of styling.

It is also possible the view the source from a selected part of the website. To try this, make a selection of a paragraph, right click and press View Selection Source. This will show the HTML code of the selected part.
