 You will need to update the version number that NPM broadcasts as the latest version number. Please use [np](https://github.com/sindresorhus/np) to do this (it is what we have used in the past). This should be done by development lead of the Enable project (as of this writing, this is [Zoltan Hawryluk](https://www.npmjs.com/~zoltandulac)).
 
+### Strcutured Data Markup
+
+Structured Data Markup is a way to label or tag the content on your website so that search engines and other platforms can better understand it.
+
+The Article and HowTo tags are two types of structured data markup that help search engines understand specific kinds of content.
+
+#### Article Tag:
+
+This is used to mark up articles, blog posts, or other written content. By using the Article tag, we help search engines identify the main parts of your article, like the headline. This can make your article show up better in search results, sometimes with extra features like the headline or image preview.
+
+#### HowTo Tag:
+
+This is used for content that gives step-by-step instructions on how to do something. When you use the HowTo tag, search engines can display your instructions in a more detailed way, often showing each step directly in the search results.
+
+Example of checkbox in the meta-info.json, where the mainEntity can be an array of 'Article' and 'HowTo' objects extracted from page:
+
+```json
+"checkbox.php": {
+    "title": "How to Create Accessible Checkboxes",
+    "desc": "Here is a step-by-step guide to creating accessible checkboxes",
+    "url": "https://www.useragentman.com/enable/checkbox.php",

+  Before we dive into making focus outlines accessible, let's first understand what a focus outline is and why it’s important for web accessibility, particularly for screen readers. 
+  If you're already familiar with focus outlines, feel free to skip to the next section. For those who aren’t, here's a brief definition.
+</p>
+
+<h2>What is a Focus Outline?</h2>
+
+<p>
+  Simply put, when a specific HTML element is ready to accept keyboard input, it is considered to be "in focus." 
+  As users navigate a webpage using the keyboard (typically via the Tab key), different elements receive focus, allowing screen readers to read their content. 
+  According to accessibility standards, any element in focus should have a visible border around it, known as the focus outline. This helps users, especially those relying on screen readers or keyboard navigation, to know which element is currently active.
+</p>
+
+
 <p>
   Focus states are used by keyboard users to know what interactive element they can currently manipulate. They are easily
   styled with the <code>outline</code> CSS property and the <code>:focus</code> and <code>:focus-visible</code> pseudo-classes.
