<!-- Answer to: "what is semantic html" -->

<!--
  A semantic element clearly describes its meaning to both the
  browser and the developer.
  Examples of non-semantic elements: <div> and <span> - Tells
  nothing about its content.
  Examples of semantic elements: <form>, <table>, and <article>
  - Clearly defines its content.
