HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
It seems like semantically each
article has its own little header, with
a heading and date. I assume we could
even add things like a byline with the
author's name and location. Is that the
right way to be using article?
It sure is.
Again, think of an article as a self-
contained piece of content—something you could
even take out and syndicate to another web page
somewhere. And if you did that, you'd definitely
want to add something like a byline with who wrote
it, when, and maybe where.
We can take this even further, because the
<header>
element isn't meant just for your main header; you
can use it whenever you want to group together
items into a header. For instance, you can add the
<header>
element to an
<article>
, a
<section>
,
or even an
<aside>
.
To see how this works, let's go back and add some
more
<header>
elements to the Starbuzz articles.
Note that the foot
er can be used
within sections, art
icles, and asides
as well. We're not g
oing to do that
on Starbuzz, but m
any sites do
create headers and
footers for
these elements.
