HTML <article> Tag

  • The <article> tag in HTML is used to define a self-contained piece of content that could be distributed and reused independently.
  • It is often used for articles, blog posts, forum posts, or any content that can stand alone and make sense on its own.

<article>
  <h2>Article Title</h2>
  <p>Published on <time datetime="2023-11-09">November 9, 2023</time> by John Doe.</p>
  <p>This is the content of the article.</p>

  • The <article> tag wraps the entire content of the article.
  • <h2> is used for the article title.
  • <time> is used to represent the publication date. The datetime attribute is used to provide a machine-readable date for better accessibility.

Using the <article> tag helps to semantically indicate that the enclosed content is an independent, self-contained piece of information.
