Exploring Semantic HTML Structure

Why Structure Matters?

Just as a tree has roots, a trunk, and branches, a webpage needs a solid structure. This page uses Semantic HTML. This means the tags describing the content actually tell the browser (and screen readers) what the content is.

The Article Tag

I am wrapping this text in an <article> tag. This signifies that this block of content is independent and self-contained—like a specific species entry in a field guide.

The Code Behind This

If you view the source of this page, you won't just see a bunch of <div> tags. You will see specific landmarks that define the layout clearly.
