 title: HTML5 Semantic Elements

 ## HTML5 Semantic Elements
-Semantic HTML elements clearly describe its meaning in a human and machine readable way. Elements such as `<header>`, `<footer>` and `<article>` are all considered semantic because they accurately describe the purpose of the element and the type of content that is inside them.

 ### A Quick History
 HTML was originally created as a markup language to describe documents on the early internet. As the internet grew and was adopted by more people, its needs changed. Where the internet was originally inteded for sharing scientific documents, now people wanted to share other things as well. Very quickly, people started wanting to make the web look nicer. Because the web was not initially built to be designed, programmers used different hacks to get things laid out in different ways. Rather than using the ```<table></table>``` to describe information using a table, programmers would use them to position other elements on a page. As the use of visually designed layouts progressed, programmers started to use a generic "non-semantic" tag like `<div>`. They would often give these elements a `class` or `id` attribute to describe their purpose. For example, instead of `<header>` this was often written as `<div class="header">`. As HTML5 is still relatively new, this use of non-semantic elements is still very common on websites today.

-First, it is  much **easier to read**. This is probably the first thing you will notice when looking at the first block of code using semantic elements. This is a small example, but as a programmer you can be reading through hundreds or thousands of lines of code. The easier it is to read and understand that code, the easier it makes your job.

 It has **greater accessibility**. You are not the only one that finds semantic elements easier to understand. Search engines and assistive technologies (like screen readers for users with a sight impairment) are also able to better understand the context and content of your website, meaning a better experience for your users.
 
 Overall, semantic elements also lead to more **consistent code**. When creating a header using non-semantic elements, different programmers might write this as `<div class="header">`, `<div id="header">`, `<div class="head">`, or simply `<div>`. There are so many ways that you can create a header element, and they all depend on the personal preference of the programmer. By creating a standard semantic element, it makes it easier for everyone.
 
-Since October 2014, HTML4 got upgraded to HTML5, along with some new “semantic” elements.  To this day, some of us might still be confused as to why so many different elements that doesn’t seem to show any major changes.

 #### <code>&#60;section&#62;</code> and <code>&#60;article&#62;</code>
-“What’s the difference?”, you may ask.  Both these elements are used for sectioning a content, and yes, they can definitely be used interchangeably.  It’s a matter of in which situation.  HTML4 offered only one type of container element, which is <code>&#60;div&#62;</code>.  While this is still used in HTML5, HTML5 provided us with <code>&#60;section&#62;</code> and <code>&#60;article&#62;</code> in a way to replace <code>&#60;div&#62;</code>.

 The <code>&#60;section&#62;</code> and <code>&#60;article&#62;</code> elements are conceptually similar and interchangeable.  To decide which of these you should choose, take note of the following:
