7061 2009-06-28 09:58:14 +0000 clarify definition of "sectioning content" 2010-10-04 14:57:00 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified HTML WG pre-LC1 HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) unspecified All All CLOSED NEEDSINFO http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#sectioning-content-0 P2 normal --- 1 mike ian mike public-html-admin public-html-wg-issue-tracking public-html-bugzilla oldest_to_newest 25749 0 mike 2009-06-28 09:58:14 +0000 http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#sectioning-content-0 The draft currently defines "sectioning content" as "content that defines the scope of headings, footers, and contact information". That seems to omit from the definition the <section> element itself, as well as the <nav>, <article>, and <aside> elements. 25761 1 ian 2009-06-28 10:56:16 +0000 I removed the bit about contact information, does that solve the problem? 25762 2 mike 2009-06-28 11:44:16 +0000 I still don't think "Sectioning content is content that defines the scope of headings and footers." is going to be clear to most readers. Perhaps explicitly mentioning some elements names would help: "Sectioning content is content that defines the scope of headings and footers. The contents of the <section>, <article>, <nav> and <aside> elements constitute sectioning content." or maybe: "The contents of the <section>, <article>, <nav> and <aside> elements constitute sectioning content. The scope of a particular heading or footer is defined by the <section>, <article>, <nav> or <aside> element that contains that heading or footer." 25769 3 ian 2009-06-28 21:47:49 +0000 I have a separate issue logged about making sure all the content model definitions list all the elements that fall into that content model; it's scheduled for August or something (so that I don't have to keep doing it when we change things). 33128 4 mjs 2010-03-14 14:48:21 +0000 This bug predates the HTML Working Group Decision Policy.
