Module 8: Semantic HTML

Module 8 focuses on semantic HTML elements, which provide meaning to the content and improve the structure of web pages. Here's a detailed overview:

  1. Semantic elements: Semantic HTML elements such as <header>, <nav>, <section>, <article>, and <footer> are designed to convey the meaning of their content to browsers and developers alike. These elements provide a clear structure to web documents, making them easier to understand and maintain.
  2. Benefits of semantic HTML: Semantic elements play a crucial role in enhancing accessibility and search engine optimization (SEO). They improve screen reader compatibility by providing meaningful structure to content, making it easier for users with disabilities to navigate websites. Additionally, search engines prioritize semantic markup, leading to better indexing and ranking of web pages.

Here's an example of semantic HTML usage:
