DESIGNING A SITE WITH THE
SEMANTIC ELEMENTS
Adding the semantic elements to a simple, document-
like page is easy. Adding them to a complete website isn't
any harder, but it does raise a whole lot more questions.
And because HTML5 is essentially virgin territory, there
are a small number of settled conventions (but a large
number of legitimate disagreements). That means when
you have a choice between two markup approaches, and
the HTML5 standard says they're both perfectly accept-
able, it's up to you to decide which one makes the most
sense for your content.
Figure 2-6
shows the more ambitious example that you'll
consider next.
