## Quick Start

Minimal working example:

```html
<!-- Good semantic structure -->
<nav aria-label="Main navigation">
  <ul>
    <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="/about">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="/contact">Contact</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>

<main>
  <article>
    <header>
      <h1>Article Title</h1>
      <time datetime="2024-01-15">January 15, 2024</time>
    </header>
    <p>Article content...</p>
  </article>

  <aside aria-label="Related articles">
    <h2>Related Articles</h2>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="/article1">Article 1</a></li>
