Blocks and article class

Thanks, Jeff

I ended up wrapping the article div with an if statement in node.tpl.php though I imagine there is a better way to do it. I would rather not output any markup than empty markup. Maybe if the intent was for article div to be the container for all content in the Main Content region, it would be better for blocks placed in that region to be output inside the article div. But I'm a noob.

<?php if ($content || $submitted || $picture || $terms || $links || ($article_aside && !$teaser)): ?>

<div id="<?php print $article_id; ?>" class="<?php print $classes; ?>">
  <div class="article-inner clearfix">
    <?php if (!$page): ?>
      <h2 class="<?php print $title_classes; ?>">
        <a href="<?php print $node_url; ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php print $title; ?></a>
        <?php print $unpublished; ?>
      </h2>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($submitted): ?>
      <p class="submitted"><?php print $submitted; ?></p>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($picture): print $picture; endif; ?>
    <?php print $content; ?>
    <?php if ($terms): print $terms; endif; ?>
    <?php if ($links): print $links; endif; ?>
    <?php if ($article_aside && !$teaser): ?>
      <div id="article-aside" class="aside"><?php print $article_aside; ?></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
  </div>
</div>


<?php endif; ?>
