# [article](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/semantics.html#the-article-element) element
|
||||
|
||||
This element is poorly supported by browsers. As a workaround, `style.css` needs:
|
||||
|
||||
article {
|
||||
display: block;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Internet Explorer will display it as a block, though you can't seem to be further control the style.

## Time element
|
||||
|
||||
The [time element](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-time-element) ideally needs the datatime= attribute set by a template variable with what [HTML5 defines as a valid datetime string](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/infrastructure.html#valid-global-date-and-time-string).

## Header
|
||||
|

Many of the header `<span>`s should be proper [header elements](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/semantics.html#the-h1,-h2,-h3,-h4,-h5,-and-h6-elements)

|
||||
|
||||
The [header element](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/semantics.html#the-header-element) requires a h1-h6 child, in order to [validate](http://validator.nu/). Hence in my [html5 page templates](http://git.webconverger.org/?p=ikiwiki;a=tree;f=templates;hb=refs/heads/html5), I've marked up page title with a h1.
