<aside> Tag Syntax

Rules for coding HTML aside elements
<body>
   ...
   ... flow content expected ...
   <aside>
      ... flow content ...
   </aside>
   ...
</body>
  1. Inside an element where flow content is allowed, code one or more optional aside elements.
  2. Begin each aside element with a starting <aside> tag. The element name uses lower case letters and should be in the HTML namespace, which it will pick up automatically from the xmlns attribute on the <html> tag.
  3. Include any HTML global attributes on the <aside> tag as appropriate.
  4. End the aside element with a matching </aside> closing tag.
  5. Inside the aside element, include any flow content as appropriate.
