Example 2: semantic elements

HTML has both non-semantic and semantic elements.
"Semantic" in HTML terms just means more specific

<div> and <span> are not semantic because they tell you nothing about their
contents, however, elements such as <article>, <figure>, <footer>, etc. are
semantic because they tell you exactly what they contain.
