HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
• Can the meaning of the content be described only with a
class
or
id
attribute? The
div
and
span
elements don't introduce any semantics
of their own, but you may add meaning through
class
and
id
attrib-
utes if no other element is appropriate.
Case study: the City Press
Now that you feel comfortable organizing the structure of a web page using HTML5
sectioning elements, we're going to turn our attention to the details, the text-level se-
mantics of a page. These are the elements that enclose phrasing content—the text inside
paragraphs and so on. We'll use the homepage of the
City Press
(
Figure 3-7
)
, a fictitious
newspaper, as an example around which to explore these elements. The
City Press
page
has been coded with a large number of different elements for demonstration purposes.

However, it is important to note that divs are not in the sectioning content category, a div used
in place of a section will not add a new section to the document outline.
