I am reading the docs but I still don't understand if the <main>
element can be nested inside some other element e.g.
<div>
<div>
<main>...</main>
</div>
</div>
or it must be a direct descendant of the body e.g.
<body>
<main>...</main>
</body>
All the examples I've seen were showing the main as direct descendant of body...
So I am a bit confused: is it correct to put main inside some other element than body? (of course using it just one time)
Per the spec
4.4.13. The main element
Categories:
- Flow content.
- Palpable content.
Contexts in which this element can be used:
Where flow content is expected, but with no
<article>
,<aside>
,<footer>
,<header>
or<nav>
element ancestors.
As the <body>
and <div>
elements may contain flow content, you are safe to nest them.
