It’s been suggested that I add a <main></main> landmark to my pages to improve accessibility. I need to have it encompass multiple blocs, but I don’t see a way of doing this. Any suggestions?

Hi Paul,
I don’t think that’s possible yet. That was one of the features I’d like to see added: nested container tags. I hope Norm implements that eventually.

Exactly, thats a big limitation of the bloc structure. You can wrap a bloc in a tag (now), but no nesting or proper landmarking.
I doubt that will change, otherwise it wont be called Blocs

Thanks @wolfganghofer and @PeteSharp. That’s disappointing. I’ll definitely add my name to this as a feature request.
Hey @PaulB there is an option in Blocs to add a main wrapper tags to Blocs.
You can’t apply it to Bloc Groups, but you can apply it to single Blocs.
When there are multiple sequential Blocs with the same tag, they will be wrapped in a single tag.
So right now, you can place all Blocs with the exception of the Bloc group at the top in a main tag using that option.
I hope that helps.

Thanks, @Norm. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working. I added the main wrapper tag to blocs 3-6 (from the screenshot). They don’t get combined into a single tag. I tried previewing in the browser and exporting. Am I missing something?
I’ll double check that, are the Bloc sections all within the dynamic page area and not in one of the two global areas.
Also make sure to tag each Bloc, not just the first and last.
They’re all in the dynamic area. I tagged the first four blocs. The result is each of the four blocs has their own tag.

I don’t remember it ever being mentioned it combined sequential tags. Curious, it doesn’t work in 5 and 6.
Thanks I’ll take a look and see what’s up here.
Hey @PaulB, I just took another look at the export logic and it looks like sequential header and footer tags are automatically combined, but not the main tag.
I’ve added support so sequential main wrapper tags are also combined in Blocs 6.4.3 (beta build 2), which will be available later today for you to try out.
I also checked support for Blocs Groups, I was wrong about that too, they are supported.
So you should be good to go with 6.4.3.

Hi @Norm, awesome, thanks! I can confirm that the tags are combined into a single , including the group, in Blocs 6.4.3 B2. Thank you!
