If you're referring to the Exploring Lift book, have a look at Section
"3.11.1 Binding Values in Snippets" where it explains bind. (I'm new
to Lift myself and hopefully not leading you astray.)

1. myFunc's "html" parameter is fed "automatically" by the HTML Lift
Template.  In the follow example, everything between
<lift:SomeClass.myFunc> and </lift:SomeClass.myFunc> is passed to
myFunc.

<lift:surround with="default" at="content">
        <h2>Hello World</h2>
        <lift:SomeClass.myFunc form="POST">
                <p> Some Text <hello:description /></p>
                <hello:button />
        </lift:SomeClass.myFunc>
</lift:surround>


2. "hello" is a prefix for referring to template elements by name. The
HTML Lift template should have some like <hello:button /> which will
get replaced by the evaluation after "->" within bind().

3. I'm not sure what you mean "How does the div work".
