Navigation
<nav>
The
<nav> element is used to
contain the major navigational blocks on the site such as the primary site
navigation. Going back to our blog example, if you wanted to finish an article with
links to related blog posts, these would not be counted as major navigational
blocks and therefore should not sit inside a <nav> element. At the time of writing, some of the developers that were already using
HTML5 decided to use the <nav>
element for the links that appear at the bottom
of every page (links to things like privacy policy, terms and conditions and
accessibility information). Whether this will be widely adopted is still yet to
be seen.
