Problem

Semantic HTML5 elements (article, section, nav, main, etc.) help search engines and AI understand page structure. Using only <div> tags provides no structural meaning.

Best Practices

1. Use <main> for primary content 2. Use <article> for self-contained content 3. Use <nav> for navigation 4. Use <header>/<footer> for page/section headers/footers 5. Use <section> for thematic groupings 6. Use <aside> for tangentially related content

Example: <body> <header>Site header</header> <nav>Navigation</nav> <main> <article> <header><h1>Title</h1></header> <section>Content section</section> </article> <aside>Sidebar</aside> </main> <footer>Site footer</footer> </body>

Benefits

- Better accessibility for screen readers - Improved SEO signal clarity - Easier for AI to extract and cite content - Better code maintainability
