hgroup no longer part of html5 spec #1

Open ghost opened 10 years ago

ghost commented 10 years ago

I noticed hgroup at https://github.com/impressivewebs/Easy-HTML5-Template/blob/master/index.html#L50 but I also noticed http://html5doctor.com/the-hgroup-element/ which says:

Update 16th April, 2013. hgroup has now been removed from the HTML5 specification. We are working on an article to help guide authors on which markup patterns they should use instead. Update 4th April, 2013. Please note that following this decision, hgroup will be removed from the HTML5 specification. As such, we don’t endorse using it on production sites.

Yep, I was familiar with that. Just no time to get back to this project.

The thing is... it makes absolutely no difference if people use this in production. You can make up as many fake tags as you want and browsers and screen readers will just treat them like divs, so it's really not that important unless there is a more accessible alternative.

Fair enough - and impressively rapid response. In fact, I'm trying to wade through best practise to target screen readers and accessibility for blind people, so it's a learning minefield of conflicting info and best practise, but I've been finding your site and StackOverflow comments particularly helpful, so, thanks again!

No problem. Oh and don't get the wrong idea... I appreciate the feedback, I will definitely make the change so thanks for the reminder. I was just saying that it's not the most urgent thing, that's all. :)

No need to close it, I will fix it, so let's leave this open for now. Thanks. :)
