`<div>`

A division is a grouping of contiguous content within a topic. There is no additional semantic meaning.

Usage information

The <div> element is useful primarily for reuse and as a specialization base.

Attributes

The following attributes are available on this element: universal attributes.

Example

In the following code sample, a <div> element is used to organize several elements together so that they can be referenced by @conref or @conkeyref:

<div id="rendered-table">
  <p>The following screen capture shows one way the code sample might be rendered:</p>
  <image keyref="rendered-table" placement="break"/>
</div>

Without using a <div> element, the content could not be grouped for content referencing since the start and end elements are of different types.
