Heading
Groups
<hgroup>
The purpose of the <hgroup> element
is to group together a set of one or more <h1> through <h6> elements so that they are treated as one single heading.
For example, the <hgroup> element
could be used to contain both a title inside an <h2> element and a subtitle within an <h3> element.
This element has had a
mixed reception. When it was first proposed by the people developing HTML5,
there were some complaints and it was withdrawn from the
HTML5 proposals. However, some people changed their minds an it has been added
it back into the language.
Some developers do not like the use of the <hgroup> element,
and prefer to place a subtitle inside a <p> element (using an attribute
to indicate that it is a subheading). Some suggest that it is of little use
other than as a styling hook. It has, however, been popular with those
developers who believe that it is useful to group together the primary heading and
the subheading (as both can be integral parts of a heading).
Example Code
<hgroup>
<h2>Japanese Vegetarian</h2>
<h3>Five week course in London</h3>
</hgroup>
