 * Hi,
    I’m new to css animations, but i’ve created one for my webpage (wrote it
   in a text editor). Basically, the whole animation are squares floating at the
   background.
 * I want to apply this animated background to one of my pages, but I don’t know
   where to start. Where should I paste the html and css components? And how to 
   target only this one page?
 * I am using Gutenberg with Malina theme. Is there an option to add html & css 
   for my animation without using additional plug-ins?
 * Thank you

 * Put the HTML into a HTML block, with unique enough classes so your CSS affects
   only that.
    Put your CSS into the Customizer > Additional CSS.

 * Thank you for your reply [@joyously](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joyously/)
   
   I tried doing that, but even though my classes are unique the css effected all
   the pages…I later added the page id and that helped, but the css wasn’t rendering
   correctly.
 * Should I add the body tag in the html block when I’m adding my own html or skip
   it?
 * At least I know html block + adding css in the customizer is the right way to
   go. Thank you!

 * No, your content should not contain a body tag. The theme outputs that.
 * If your class is unique then your CSS must be targeting something less specific
   if it affects all pages.
