HN comment orderI've always found it ironic that this library calls itself "Semantic UI" but doesn't follow the practice of semantic HTML/classes[0]. W3C suggests[1] that classes should be used for semantic roles (e.g. "warning", "news", "footer"), rather than for display ("left", "angle", "small" -- examples taken from Semantic UI's docs). So instead of giving a button the class of "button" it would be better to give it a class such as "download-book." The benefit of this is when it comes time to…
This is semantic: <header> <h1>Title</h1> <nav> <button class="active">Home</button> <button>Link</button> <button>Link</button> </nav> </header> not this: <div class="ui menu"> <div class="header item">Title</div> <a class="active item">Home</a> <a class="item">Link</a> <a class="item">Link</a> <div class="right floated text item"> Signed in as <a href="#">user</a> </div> </div>
The ironic thing about Semantic UI is that the HTML code is the contrary of (the classical textbook definition of) semantic. It looks more like 90s font tags.
