<Section>:
There is a new kid on the block in HTML5, and that is called <Section>. The <Section> tag has been introduced to make the life easier to the web developers. It is basically a notation, but a really useful and powerful one, especially if it is combined withe the <Article> tag.
The <Section> tag defines sections in a document. Such as chapters, headers, footers, or any other sections of the document. One of the best things about the <Section> Tag, it is the fact it supports all the Globals Attributes in HTML and of course the Event Attributes.
So this:
<section>
<h6>WWF's Panda symbol</h6>
<p>The Panda has become the symbol of WWF. The well-known panda logo of WWF originated from a panda named Chi Chi that was transferred from the Beijing Zoo to the London Zoo in the same year of the establishment of WWF.</p>
</section>
It will generate: The Panda has become the symbol of WWF. The well-known panda logo of WWF originated from a panda named Chi Chi that was transferred from the Beijing Zoo to the London Zoo in the same year of the establishment of WWF.WWF's Panda symbol
<Article>:
The <Article> tag is much more independent than the section one,self-contained content. An article normally comes embedded into a section.
An article should make sense on its own and it should be possible to distribute it independently from the rest of the site.
Potential sources for the <article> element:
- Forum post
- Blog post
- News story
- Comment
So this:
<article>
