<article> Tag Syntax

Rules for coding HTML article elements
<body>
   ...
   ... flow content expected ...
   <article>
      ... flow content ...
   </article>
   ...
</body>
  1. Inside an element where flow content is allowed, code one or more optional article elements.
  2. Begin each article element with a starting <article> tag. The element name uses lower case letters and should be in the HTML namespace, which it will pick up automatically from the xmlns attribute on the <html> tag.
  3. Include any HTML global attributes on the <article> tag as appropriate.
  4. End the article element with a matching </article> closing tag.
  5. Inside the article element, include any flow content as appropriate.
