The HTML5 Semantic Elements plugin introduces two custom Gutenberg blocks — Article and Aside — that allow you to structure your WordPress content with proper semantic HTML5 elements.
Use the Article block for self-contained content such as blog posts or news items, and the Aside block for related or supplementary information such as sidebars, pull quotes, or callouts.
These semantic elements improve both SEO and accessibility by clearly defining the roles of different content sections.
<h3>How to Use</h3>
<h3>Adding Blocks</h3>
<ol>
<li>Edit any post or page in the block editor</li>
<li>Click the “+” button to add a new block</li>
<li>Search for “Article” or “Aside”</li>
<li>Click the desired block to insert it into your content</li>
</ol>
<h3>Article Block</h3>
The Article block creates an HTML5 <code><article></code> element, ideal for: 
– Blog posts 
– News articles 
– Forum posts 
– Comments 
– Independent, self-contained content
Features 
– Nest any blocks inside (headings, paragraphs, images, etc.) 
– Wide and Full alignment support 
– Custom CSS classes 
– Anchor ID support 
– “Remove Article” button to unwrap the block while keeping its inner content
Removing the Article wrapper 
– Toolbar: Select the Article block → click the “Remove Article” (X) button 
– Menu: Use the three-dot menu → “Ungroup”
<h3>Aside Block</h3>
The Aside block creates an HTML5 <code><aside></code> element, perfect for: 
– Sidebars 
– Pull quotes 
– Related content 
– Callout boxes 
– Supplementary information
Features

Transforming existing blocks 
1. Select an existing block (paragraph, heading, list, quote, pullquote, or group) 
2. Click the block icon or three-dot menu 
3. Choose “Transform to” → “Aside”
Removing the Aside wrapper

<h3>Styling</h3>
Both blocks include basic styling. To customize:
<ol>

<li>Add your own CSS under Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS.</li>
</ol>
Example CSS:
<pre><code>`css
