HTML5 <aside> tag in Umbraco

In a template I'm currently creating I've tried to add the new HTML5 `<aside>` tag to my markup.

<aside class="secondary-content">

<img src="images/content_image1.jpg" alt="Alt text 1" />

</aside>

However, I get the following error when viewing the page.

Type 'umbraco.presentation.templateControls.Item' does not have a public property named 'aside'.

Is there anyway to allow this tag to be allowed in Umbraco 4.7?

Hi Benjamin

Umbraco couldnt care less about your html :-) Meaning - you can put anything being valid or invalid html/text/mumblejumble in the templates.

I assume you are using mastertemplates. Question is - did you add the html within a content placeholder. Like this:
```
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server">
```
```
(... lots of html)
```
```
  <aside class="secondary-content">
```
```
      <img src="images/content_image1.jpg" alt="Alt text 1" />
```
```
    </aside>
```
```
(... lots of html)
```
```
</asp:content>
```

Hi,

Thanks for your input jesper.

As usual figured out the issue a couple of minutes after psoting this. Turns out I hadnt closed the <umbraco:item /> tag directly above the aside which caused the error to show.

Once I closed the tag it worked as planned. :)
