The <article> Tag in HTML 5
An article element contains the main theme(s) of an HTML document and is created using the <article>
tag, which is one of the sectioning tags in HTML 5. More than one article element can be included in a single document if there is more than one main theme, such as for:
- a blog summary page with an introduction to each blog entry
- an index with short abstracts for research papers
For content that departs from the main theme(s), the <aside> tag can be used. The <section> tag can be used to identify subsections within an <aside> or <article>, such as the "Tag Summary", "Tag Syntax", "Element Attributes", "Tag Examples" and "What's New / Changes" sections on this page.
