Sections are nested, so while this is valid, it is not the typical usage. This would be more in line with what I've seen: <section> <h>Heading 1</h> <p>Text</p> <section> <h>Heading 1.1</h> <p>Text</p> </section> <section> <h>Heading 1.2</h> <p>Text</p> </section> </section> <section> <h>Heading 2</h> <p>Text</p> <section> <h>Heading 2.1</h> <p>Text</p> </section> <section> <h>Heading 2.2</h> <p>Text</p> </section> </section> -- Orion Adrian
