HTML5: Section or Article?
One of the main questions I have seen popping up all over the place in relation to HTML5, in forums, StackOverflow, and Twitter, is “which do I use: article or section?”
In fact quite often the answer is “neither, use a div” but these two new elements initially aren’t all that easy to get your head around and because it forces us to think about what we’re writing and the way we present it, we’re thinking in a way we haven’t had to before when laying out a HTML page. And whilst this is a good thing, it does require a bit of thought.
