Laying Out the Page 425

The structure of this page is defined by the HTML5 tags with id attributes. The general
skeleton (with conte nt omitted) consists of the following:

Comments are used with the closing tags as reminders about which section is being
closed; it makes the page easier to edit later.

The page is constructed of two sections: a header and a main body. Each of these has one
or more subsections. This structure provides what’s needed to redesign and lay out the
page.

Why this particular structure? There are actually many ways you could structure such
the page, inserting tags appropriately. This skeleton is simply the method chosen for this
example, to get the specific styles used later on. During the web development process,
you might go back to your HTML and add or remove tags while styling to give more
flexibility when creating page layouts.
