Section 2: Sweet, I have new tags
While HTML5 is not always about introducing new tags, its there. Its just not added newly because they had to, but they really help identify the content you are going to put in the webpage.
Before understanding new tags which are introduced, we will understand the meaningless nature of <div> tags. A div tag is used only to stuff contents together, and later style it using stylesheets (CSS). Consider the following example:
<div id="navigation">
some navigation links
</div>
Well do you consider the following or above to be simple enough to understand?
<nav>
some navigation links
</nav>
It makes sense to write less code and which is intelligible for humans. After all humans write HTML.
