I'm honestly curious. I try to use semantic HTML when possible, so if I use <section>
when it seems appropriate (when there's a semantic section of content containing a heading at the beginning). In general, semantic HTML helps with accessibility and SEO, but I'm unsure if <section>
has much if any practical benefits, to be honest. I test with a screen reader and it doesn't acknowledge it at all, which makes sense I suppose, since it doesn't exactly have a meaning. So what is the point of it? I'll probably still keep using it even if no one can come up with anything since it just feels like a good policy to be semantic, but I'd love to know if there are some practical benefits.
