Attributes

The<hgroup> element allows the grouping of a heading with any secondary content, such as subheadings, an alternative title, or tagline. Each of these types of content represented as a<p> element within the<hgroup>.

The<hgroup> itself has no impact on the document outline of a web page. Rather, the single allowed heading within the<hgroup> contributes to the document outline.
