TYPO3 Core

The HTML5 rendering of a header works only, if I set a date in the content element (see attached screenshot).
Why is there isTrue.field = date?

See issue #47575, grouping a single headline does not make sense, so at least the date needs to be set.

Grouping is not necessary on a single headline, that's true, but it would be nice if the header-element would be rendered ;)

The decision wrt default behavior is up to the TYPO3 devs, but you can always delete that isTrue condition in you TS if you need to have the <header> element rendered at all time.

Yes, I've done this. But I don't understand the relationship between a hx element and a date.

According to the W3C specs the <header> tag should be used for the following:

The header element represents introductory content for its nearest ancestor sectioning content or sectioning root element. A header typically contains a group of introductory or navigational aids. When the nearest ancestor sectioning content or sectioning root element is the body element, then it applies to the whole page. A header element is intended to usually contain the section's heading (an h1–h6 element), but this is not required. The header element can also be used to wrap a section's table of contents, a search form, or any relevant logos.

In short, this is a grouping element. The date can be seen as an introductory aid. That's why it is put in header tag, when there is a hx element also. We are grouping the hx and the date by a header tag. Putting only the date in a header tag breaks the specification. You're not grouping anything, only displaying the date. Not using a hx tag, but wrapping a date with header breaks the semantics of the document also.

Since you're not grouping anything when there is only the date (same as in #47575), I would like to close this issue. The <header> tag is a grouping tag, not for a single element, and especially not combined with a hx tag (although not required). By changing this, CSC would not be according to the W3C specs anymore.

Of course, you can always change this according to your personal taste, but be aware of the right markup and semantics. The specification can be read in many ways, but I believe the way we use it currently is the best. You're always welcome to change it for your own needs ;-)

I agree to Patrick and would prefer to close this issue.

the problem is in the 6.2.15 :(
plz fix the bug, thanks!
