由於缺少結構，即使是形式良好的HTML 頁面也比較難以處理。必須分析標題的級別，才能看出各個部分的劃分方式。邊欄、頁腳、頁眉、導航條、主內容區和各篇文章都由通用的div 元素來表示。 HTML 5 添加了一些新元素，專門用來標識這些常見的結構：
· section：這可以是書中的一章或一節，實際上可以是在HTML 4 中有自己的標題的任何東西
· header：頁面上顯示的頁眉；與head 元素不一樣
· footer：頁腳；可以顯示電子郵件中的簽名
· nav：指向其他頁面的一組鏈接
· article：blog、雜誌、文章彙編等中的一篇文章
我們來考慮一個典型的blog 主頁，它的頂部有頁眉，底部有頁腳，還有幾篇文章、一個導航區和一個邊欄，見代碼1 典型的blog 頁面

<div class=entry>
<p>Yesterday I joined the Brooklyn Bird Club for our
annual trip to Western New Jersey, specifically Hyper
Humus, a relatively recently discovered hot spot. It
started out as a nice winter morning when we arrived
at the site at 7:30 AM, progressed to Spring around
10:00 AM, and reached early summer by 10:15. </p>

But does it count for your life list?</a></h2>
<div class=entry>
<p>Seems you can now go <a
href=
2007/04/cone_sf>bird watching via the Internet</a>. I
haven't been able to test it out yet (20 user
limit apparently) but this is certainly cool.
Personally, I can't imagine it replacing
actually being out in the field by any small amount.
On the other hand, I've always found it quite
sad to meet senior birders who are no longer able to
hold binoculars steady or get to the park. I can
imagine this might be of some interest to them. At
least one elderly birder did a big year on TV, after
he could no longer get out so much. This certainly
tops that.</p>

即使有正確的縮進，這些嵌套的div 仍然讓人覺得非常混亂。在HTML 5 中，可以將這些元素替換為語義性的元素，見代碼2 用HTML5編寫的典型blog頁面

現在不再需要div 了。不再需要自己設置class 屬性，從標準的元素名就可以推斷出各個部分的意義。這對於音頻瀏覽器、手機瀏覽器和其他非標準瀏覽器尤其重要。
