Non-Semantic Wrappers

In HTML, a non-semantic wrapper is an element that is used to group other elements for formatting or layout purposes without adding any additional meaning or context to the content. Non-semantic wrappers are typically used when no suitable semantic element is available for grouping the content.

One typical example of a non-semantic wrapper is the <div> element. The <div> element represents a generic container that can group other elements but does not have any specific meaning or purpose.

In this example, the <div> element is used to group the two <p> elements but does not add any additional meaning or context to the content.

Another common example of a non-semantic wrapper is the <span> element. The <span> element is similar to the <div> element but is inline rather than block-level and is typically used to style small groups of inline elements.

In this example, the <span> element is used to group the emphasized text but does not add any additional meaning or context to the content.

Using semantic elements can help to make your HTML more meaningful and easier to understand and can also make it easier to style and format using CSS.
