How it will affect content creators?
•
One of the most key element in HTML5 is <article>,
which represents a single, independent piece of content
on your site.
For example:
•
In furniture wholesale or ecommerce website, this is
essentially your product.
•
On a product page, it should enclose all the details about
your product: pictures, description, details, purchase
information.
•
On a category page, it's the container for each product
shown. “Article” doesn't just mean a written document;
it's also an article of furniture.
