HTML 5 elements

[BillAnton]

* section: A part or chapter in a book, a section in a chapter, or essentially anything that has its own heading in HTML 4
* header: The page header shown on the page; not the same as the head element
* footer: The page footer where the fine print goes; the signature in an e-mail message
* nav: A collection of links to other pages
* article: An independent entry in a blog, magazine, compendium, and so forth

One of the Top Contributors suggested that since WebBuilder does not support these new elements one could implement some of these new elements by using snippets and callwords.

[quote]for now, you can setup some snippets/callwords to help you out.[/quote]

Anybody have any ides how to go about doing this?

I have a 'blank' tag snippet that I use for XML and random stuff. it'd work for this too.

snippet before:
<%[Enter Tag]%>

snippet after
</%[Enter Tag]%>

I assigned it to ctrl+alt+shift+W

typing the keystroke pops up a dialog box that says "enter tag". I just entered "footer" and it output:
<footer>|</footer>

could of course format it to output on two lines like
<footer>
|
</footer>

if that's more to your liking.

I use this feature myself although I don't use the keyboard shortcuts. Too old to remember all of these and all of a few other programs that can be user designated (Xara Xtreme is one that I am using right now, for example), but this doesn't really pertain to HTML5 elements.

I was hoping for some temporary workaround to get the functionality of these features until W3C actually adopts them as standards and then I would just have to bug Karlis to include in WeBuilder!
