Block Elements [June 23, 2011, 5:16 p.m.]


Status: Drafting

There are several primary block elements used in HTML5. We will look at some new and old tags that complement the <head> and <body> duo.

  • <header>
  • <footer>
  • <article>
  • <aside>
  • <code>
  • <nav>
  • <blockquote>

<header>

The <header> tag is a container for introductory materials in a document. <header> can be used multiple times in a document and usually contains at least one <h1>-<h6> element (in order to validate).
