HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
For example, to mark the header of your Web page, you would enter a
header
ele-
ment within the page body, using the syntax
<header>
header content
</header>
where
header content
is the page content that you want displayed within the page
header. One of the reasons we want to defi ne these structural elements is that we can
write styles for them and defi ne the layout of the Web page content.
Marking Structural Elements in HTML5
• To mark the page header, use the
header
element.
• To mark the page footer, use the
footer
element.
• To mark a main section of page content, use the
section
element.
• To mark a sidebar, use the
aside
element.
• To mark an article, use the
article
element.
Based on Dave's sample document shown in Figure 1-8, you'll add the
header
,
section
,
aside
, and
footer
structural elements to your HTML fi le.
