Usage notes #

::: section-content The <hgroup> element allows the grouping of a heading with any secondary content, such as subheadings, an alternative title, or tagline. Each of these types of content represented as a <p> element within the <hgroup>.

The <hgroup> itself has no impact on the document outline of a web page. Rather, the single allowed heading within the <hgroup> contributes to the document outline. :::

Examples #

::: section-content ::: code-example [html]{.language-name}

<!doctype html>
<title>HTML Standard</title>
<body>
  <hgroup id="document-title">
    <h1>HTML: Living Standard</h1>
    <p>Last Updated 12 July 2022</p>
  </hgroup>
  <p>Some intro to the document.</p>
  <h2>Table of contents</h2>
  <ol id="toc">
    …
  </ol>
  <h2>First section</h2>
  <p>Some intro to the first section.</p>
</body>
