<p>Het HTML &lt;div&gt; element is een algemene container voor flow content, en heeft geen specifieke betekenis.<br>
 Het kan gebruikt worden om elementen te groeperen voor stijl-doeleinden (doormiddel van een <strong>class</strong> of <strong>id</strong>), of omdat ze attribuutwaarden delen, zoals <strong>lang</strong>. Het mag alleen gebruikt worden als er geen alternatief semantisch element is (zoals {{HTMLElement("article")}} of {{HTMLElement("nav")}}).</p>
