HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
In the next section, you'll learn about some of the new elements that
have been added to
HTML5
as a result of this research.
New elements for page structure
By
page structure
we mean the top-level items: the header, the footer, the
navigation, the main content, and so on. Let's join A.J. and Greg, who
are discussing the research results from the previous section.
Sectioning content
It's common for web pages to have many distinct sections. A blog
homepage usually has several blog posts, each a section in itself, and
each blog post may have a comments section or a related-posts section.
HTML4
offers only one type of element for this common need:
<div>
.
HTML5
adds two new elements:
<section>
and
<article>
.
