Detailed explanation of the

element

HTML

element represents a part of a page. Its content is not closely related to other content of this page, or is not related and exists alone. . The

element is usually displayed as a sidebar or some inserted supplementary content. It is usually used to display some definitions in the sidebar, such as catalogs, indexes, glossaries, etc.; it can also be used to display related advertising, author introductions, web applications, related links, a brief introduction to the current page content, etc.

Notes on using the

element

Article element (

) hence the name, can represent forum posts, magazine or news articles, blogs, user-submitted comments, interactions component, or other independent content item. Its main semantics is to represent itself as an independent content structure. The internal structure of each

element should be similar, such as a header title (h1-h6 elements), etc.

element usage:

When the

element is used nested, the element represents an article related to the parent element. For example, an

element representing a blog comment can be nested within an

element representing a blog post.
The author’s information in the

element can be represented by the

element, but it does not apply to nested

elements.

The publication date and time of the article in the

element can be represented by the pubdate attribute of the element.
