and
for forum's topics?

Question

I don't know if it could be a good idea use for show a forum's topic this code:

<article>
    <section>First post</section>
    <section>Second post</section>
    <section>etc</section>
</article>

It is correct or instead I should use <div>?

@RobertHarvey no, I'm talking about forum layout, not blog or site. — Fez Vrasta, Feb 14 '13 at 20:37
You can always refer to what W3C intended them for. Article: http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/Elements/article Section: http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/Elements/section — ajp15243, Feb 14 '13 at 20:38

<section>
    <article>First post</article>
    <article>First post</article>
</section>
<section>
    <article>Second post</article>
    <article>Second post</article>
</section>
<section>
    <article>etc</article>
    <article>etc</article>
</section>

Thank you, I think you're right. – Fez Vrasta Feb 14 '13 at 20:43
But why do you? – SerG Jun 17 '18 at 13:33
semantics? Section is more general than Article which is a specific type of section. Think of newspapers and how they are organized. – AGDM Jun 18 '18 at 17:02
