Replace the sample navigation and body with your own content before publishing. Keep heading order, link destinations, focus visibility and form labels appropriate to the finished page.
Questions about HTML Boilerplate Generator
Can the title contain an ampersand?
Yes. It is escaped in the markup so it stays text rather than becoming an HTML construct.
Should every page use the same canonical URL?
No. Enter the intended preferred URL for this page. Leave it empty when you have not decided on one.
Does the skip link work without JavaScript?
Yes. It points to the main content target in the generated document. Review its keyboard behavior when you adapt the page.
