Breaking the rhubarb example into pieces
Step 1: Main content
What is the main content of the page? What comes before and what comes after?
Our first division of our example is into three elements, namely a header elementAn element providing heading material for all or part of the contents of the page. This should not be contained in the main element., a main elementAn element that contains the main content of the page., and a footer elementAn element providing footer material for all or part of the contents of the page. This should not be contained in the main element..

Main, header, and footer
Step 2: Articles and sections
Can the main content be broken into self-contained articles? Are there groups of articles that belong in the same section?

Sections
In the example, we have split the information into two section elementsAn element used as a thematic grouping of material.. The first section contains articles about general information (Stalking rhubarb, How to identify rhubarb, Washing rhubarb, Fun facts about rhubarb, and Not-so-fun facts about rhubarb) and the second section contains articles with recipes (Ginger rhubarb ice milk and No-ginger rhubarb ice milk).

Articles
Step 3: Other features
Are there any figures? Are there hyperlinks for navigation? Is there any information that is tangential to the main content?

Other features
In our example, we have a figure consisting of an image and a caption and also a list of hyperlinks to related sites. Since the list of hyperlinks is tangential, we have put it in an aside elementAn element containing material tangential to other material..
