Just out of curiosity, where did you get that quote from? I can see why
it would be confusing if <div> is still defined in terms of "text" and
"paragraph", but it seems (to me, at least) that <div> is really used
for sections of your webpage that are distinct in terms of overall
content, i.e. a header and a footer can each be a <div>, the main body
could be, sidebars could be, etc. In those terms, it has nothing to do
with text or paragraphs necessarily.
