Struct Section 

Source
pub struct Section;
Expand description

The <section> element - thematic grouping of content.

§Purpose

The <section> element represents a generic standalone section of a document, which doesn’t have a more specific semantic element to represent it. Sections should typically have a heading, and they group related content thematically.

§Content Categories

  • Flow Content
  • Sectioning Content
  • Palpable Content

§Permitted Content Model

  • Flow content

§Common Use Cases

  • Thematic grouping of content (chapters, tabs in a tabbed interface)
  • Different sections of an article or document
  • Grouping related content with a heading
  • Creating document outlines with hierarchical sections

§Key Attributes

  • Global attributes only

§Example

<article>
  <h1>The Complete Guide to Web Development</h1>
  <section>
    <h2>Introduction</h2>
    <p>Web development encompasses...</p>
  </section>
  <section>
    <h2>Frontend Technologies</h2>
    <p>HTML, CSS, and JavaScript form...</p>
  </section>
  <section>
    <h2>Backend Technologies</h2>
    <p>Server-side programming...</p>
  </section>
</article>

§Accessibility

  • Each section should have a heading for proper document outline
  • Screen readers use sections to navigate content structure
