=Aside, Section, Article, Header, Footer - the alternative HTML tags=
In HTML5, where you could use Div before, you can now use header, footer, aside, article or section.  These were introduced because they are more meaningful terms.


header  - this is used to group elements at the start of an article, aside, or section;
footer  - this is used to group elements at the end of an article, aside, or section;
aside    - this is used to group elements that are not an essential part of the content and typically appear to one side;
article  - this is used to group elements that have a logical connection with each other, but are not essential to be related to the elements outside the article grouping;
section  - Like div this is a way of grouping elements, but it is often used when the grouped elements do have a connection with those outside the section grouping.
