<section> Tag Syntax
Rules for coding HTML section
elements
<body> ... ... flow content expected ... <section> ... flow content ... </section> ... </body>
- Inside an element where flow content is allowed, code one or more optional section elements.
- Begin each section element with a starting <section> 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. - Include any HTML global attributes on the <section> tag as appropriate.
- End the section element with a matching
</section>
closing tag. - Inside the section element, include any flow content as appropriate.
