Hello,
Using the outliner (ya'll probably know this link by heart):
<http://gsnedders.html5.org/outliner/>
Example #1:
<doctype html>
<title>Hello, world!</title>
<h1>This is a section</h1>
<article>
<heading>
<hgroup>
<h1>Primary heading</h1>
<h2>Secondary heading</h2>
<h3>Tertiary heading</h3>
</hgroup>
</heading>
</article>
... creates this outline:
1. This is a section
1. Primary heading
Example #2:
<doctype html>
<title>Hello, world!</title>
<h1>This is a section</h1>
<article>
<heading>
<hgroup>
<h1>Primary heading</h1>
<h2>Secondary heading</h2>
</hgroup>
<h3>Tertiary heading</h3>
</heading>
</article>
... creates this outline:
1. This is a section
1. Primary heading
1. Tertiary heading
Question:
Which is better in terms of showing a subheading?
I like how the outliner, in Example #2, insets the "Tertiary heading"
on a new level. To me, that's how I would expect an outline to show a
subheading of an article.
On the other hand, everything I've read says to group headings
together using <hgroup>.
I know things are open to interpretation, but in your opinions, would
it be wrong for me to leave the <h3> outside of the <hgroup>?
In the real world, I'm using the <h3> for optional subheadlines to my articles.
Thanks!
Micky
