Actually yes this is the use-case I was referring to.
HTML has semantics to define sections, headers, etc.. but it doesn't manage them in any way.
If you write HTML that define sections, for example, it's no different than if you write HTML without sections.
- pjc50 11y agoWhat is your opinion of the section-structured HTML documentation itself? http://www.w3.org/TR/html/ http://www.w3.org/TR/html/ It's all neatly sectioned with anchor links and so on.
- nkuttler 11y agoSection and header tags were standardized last year, it's definitely too early to tell how browsers will handle them, but with the ubiquity of CSS and for the reasons I already mentioned I doubt they will ever get any styling, unless maybe for when no CSS was defined at all. Ultimately, I don't think of the web as a page-based medium, it's document-based. Electronic documents that want to mimic pages are a relic from the past, imo. What you seem to want should probably be implemented as browser plugins.
