so too could a Web document be structured in this way. The example here illustrates the
basic use of HTML5 sections:
<section>
<h1>
Chapter 2
</h1>
<p>
New HTML5 elements
.</p>
<section>
<h2>
HTML5's section Element
</h2>
<p>
These elements are useful to create outlines
.</p>
<section>
<h3>
Nest Away!
</h3>
<p>
Nest your sections but as you nest you might want to indent.
</p>
</section>
</section>
<p>
Ok that's enough of that.

</section>

It may not be obvious but a
section
element may contain
header
and
footer
elements
of its own:
<section>
<header>
<h1>
I am Section Heading
</h1>
</header>
<h2>
I am outside the section header I'm just a plain headline.
</h2>
<p>
Some more section content might go here.
</p>
<footer>
<p>
Hi from the footer of this section.
</p>
</footer>
</section>
HTML5 uses headings and newly introduced elements like the
section
element for
outlining purposes. For example, the expanded example here shows a number of sections
with headers, footers, headlines, and content:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>
HTML5 expanded section example
</title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>
Welcome to the Future World of HTML5
</h1>
<h2>
Don't be scared it isn't that hard!
</h2>
</header>
