Description Giorgio 2011-02-10 04:03:13 UTC
<p>Steven Spielberg presents...</p>
<h1>Indiana Jones and the secrets of HTML</h1>
<p>content<p>content<p>content

without using <section> (html4 compatible outline) how is handled the first paragraph?

is part of a its own outline or it is part of the subsequent outline?

to group in the same outline i must use sectioning tags?

Depending on exactly what the semantics here are (it's hard to tell without context), in HTML one could use any of the following:

   <p>Steven Spielberg presents...</p>
   <h1>Indiana Jones and the secrets of HTML</h1>
   <p>content<p>content<p>content

   <hgroup>
    <h2>Steven Spielberg presents...</h2>
    <h1>Indiana Jones and the secrets of HTML</h1>
   </hgroup>
   <p>content<p>content<p>content

   <section>
    <p>Steven Spielberg presents...</p>
    <h1>Indiana Jones and the secrets of HTML</h1>
    <p>content<p>content<p>content
   </section>

   <header>
    <p>Steven Spielberg presents...</p>
    <h1>Indiana Jones and the secrets of HTML</h1>
   </header>
   <p>content<p>content<p>content

In all cases, in the absence of any earlier content, the "Steven Spielberg presents..." text would be in the section labeled by the <h1> according to the outline algorithm in the HTML spec.

HTH.
