Examples

Example 1 — Epigraph

Relation to ARIA

doc-epigraph inherits its semantics from the section role (i.e., it represents a container of related content, but is not a landmark).

Usage

doc-epigraph is typically used on blockquote and section elements.

For a simplified list of all the elements the role is allowed on, refer to the mapping table in the EPUB Type to ARIA Role Authoring Guide. For the official list of allowed elements, refer to ARIA in HTML.
