section

Definition and Usage

The <section> tag defines sections in a document, such as chapters, headers, footers, or any other sections of the document.The <section> element represents a generic section of a document or application. The <section> element is not a generic container element. A section, in this context, is a thematic grouping of content, typically with a heading.  Examples of sections would be chapters, the various tabbed pages in a tabbed dialog box, or the numbered sections of a thesis. A Web site's home page could be split into sections for an introduction, news items, and contact information. <section> means that the content inside is grouped (i.e. relates to a single theme), and should appear as an entry in an outline of the page.
