Nice post. But you can't use the main element inside of the article element. The spec says: "A hierarchically correct main element is one whose ancestor elements are limited to html, body, div, form without an accessible name, and autonomous custom elements. Each main element must be a hierarchically correct main element."

Please update your example. Thank you
Hi, glad you liked it.
I have this information in my head, not sure from where, but back when HTML5 was released the
mainelement was allowed insidearticle, or not? The idea was that eacharticlecould have itsheader,mainandfootersection...I wasn't aware of this update...if it was an update in the first place :)If the
mainelement wasn't allowed inside thearticleelement from the very beginning, thank you for clearing this out...I had the wrong information.I've updated the article.
I think that it was from the beginning because the main element always contained unique content. Thank you!
This is a great to-the-point post. My only problem with CSS variables (custom properties) is the fallback (specifically for IE 11 usage). If you have to apply a second parameter, it defeats the purpose of the variable itself. For instance, if you ever have to update the value of the variable, you have to update every instance of the var function throughout your code -- its not so automagic. Yes, you can find and replace, but still a hassle if your are updating more than one css variable. This is the only reason I'm sticking with sass vars. I wish there was a way to add a fallback in the declaration rather than the var function. I know it sounds silly since the value is basically there, but declaring the value within the function seems just as silly.
You can try this polyfill, it just works:

Thank you. I agree with the point you made here. Definitely it has more sense to define the fallback value next to the variable itself. It is easier to maintain as you pointed out.
Sweet and short, thanks for sharing.
Thanks. No problem
Good article. Dynamic usage is very clear. Thanks!
No problem. I'm glad I could help.
This is great! I could've used this today :)
Thank you very much! I'm glad I could help :)
