How do I tell an aside tag which side to go on?

Question

I have an html5 aside tag in a page I'm making. I can't find a way of telling it which side of the main article to be on?

Answer 1

<aside> is just a semantic enhancement of general <div> container - it does not carry any presentational (graphic) info with itself.

You have to style it with CSS in order to put it to some specific place in your layout. For example, with float: left property.

Answer 2

You have to do it through CSS, e.g. if you want your aside tags to be on the left you would do

aside { float:left; }
