Preface

Specifying the pubdate of an article


"The pubdate attribute is a boolean attribute. If specified it indicates that the date and time given by the element is the publication date and time of the nearest ancestor <article> element, or, if the element has no ancestor <article> element, of the document as a whole." - WHATWG's HTML5 Draft Standard - http://whatwg.org/html5

Getting ready

The new pubdate is an attribute for the new <time> element when it exists within the new <article> element. It allows us to be even more precise when presenting the date and time of publication.

How to do it...

In this recipe we'll build on the new <time> element from the last recipe and add the new optional pubdate attribute to display our publication date.
