article = div?

Question

Why do I need a new tag if it means the same thing as a div?

Answer 1

To make it more readable. Example :

<div>Hi, I am an article</div>

<article>I am an article</article>

Which one is more readable? :))

Answer 2

Clearly explained :)

Answer 3

in the old days it did the following in html: <div id = "article"> </div>
<div id = "section"> </div>
<div id = "nav"> </div>
now in the new html5 format the new tags have been incorporated: <section> </section>
<nav> </nav>
<article> </aside>
and many more, it would be good if you take a look
