### Changes in HTML5
#### Introduction of semantic tags
Instead of using `<div>` for every other container several semantic(these tags help screenreaders which are used by visually
impaired) tags such as `<header>` `<footer>`. So it is advisable to use these tags instead of generic `<div>`.
HTML contains both semantic and non-semantic tags.
Semantic tags are descriptive tags that can easily convey their meaning to both a browser and a developer. Examples of semantic tags are: `<header>`, `<footer>`, `<form>`, `<table>`, `<article>`, etc.
Non-semantic tags are tags that convey nothing about what they contain. Examples of non-semantic tags are: `<div>`, `<section>`, `<span>`, etc.
