The `div` element has no special meaning at all. It represents its children. It can be used with the `class`, `lang`, and `title` attributes to mark up semantics common to a group of consecutive elements.

Authors are strongly encouraged to view the `div` element as an element of last resort, for when no other element is suitable. Use of the `div` element instead of more appropriate elements leads to poor accessibility for readers and poor maintainability for authors.
