HTML5 Semantic Landmarks

Reverb 2.0 uses HTML5 semantic landmark elements to define the major regions of each page. These landmarks allow screen reader users to quickly navigate between sections using landmark navigation commands.

main

The primary content area containing the topic content. Screen readers announce this as the "main" landmark, allowing users to skip directly to the document content.

nav

Navigation regions including the table of contents menu and breadcrumb navigation. Multiple navigation landmarks are distinguished by their ARIA labels.

header

The toolbar region at the top of the page containing search, navigation controls, and other interface elements.

footer

The page footer region containing supplementary information and links.

Note: Screen reader users can press a single key (such as D in NVDA or R in JAWS) to cycle through landmarks on the page.
