 * How do you? In HTML is it “article” content “/article” (you know what to replace
   the quotes with).

 * The [MDN article](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/article)
   is a pretty straightforward explanation.
 * Basically anything in an article is “intended to be independently distributable
   or reusable”.

 * jtleathers,
 * Wrong “article”. I’m talking about the HTML5 tag.

 * That’s exactly what both Tara and jtleathers linked you to. Here’s another: [http://htmldog.com/references/html/tags/article/](http://htmldog.com/references/html/tags/article/)

 * James,
 * My error, I sit corrected.
 * That said, how does WP handle such matters as articles, chapters, and sections?

 * Just like any HTML tag. You put them in your post content, and they’re in the
   post.
 * It’s down to the theme to style them and treat them differently than paragraph
   tags, like how most themes style blockquote tags differently than paragraph tags.
 * Think of WordPress and your plugins as the skeleton, your content is the muscular
   structure, your theme is the skin, and your styling (the theme’s style.css file
   and custom styles applied elsewhere) are the clothes, all making up one person.
 * How everything looks comes mostly from your theme and its styles.
