In this lesson from the Accessibility Challenges on freeCodeCamp we look at the article element. The article element allows us to, similar to the main element, augment the meaning of our content. We learn that an article element is for grouping self-contained, independent content. There is also the mentioning of the section element in this lesson, which also adds specifc meaning which should not be confused with the article element. While an article element should be self sufficient and independent, a section element, on the other hand is used to group related content. An example using a book clearly demonstrates the proper use and order of said elements. If a book was divided. the whole book is an article, while each chapter is a section of the article. Understanding these conceptualization will prove key in understanding when to use the section element and when to use the article element. The div element should only be used when grouping content in general, not related content or independent content.
