HTML - <menu> Tag

The HTML <menu> tag is used for creating a menu list.

The <menu> tag is depricated in HTML4 and re-introduced in HTML5.But it is better to ignore this tag as it is experimental and not supported by many browsers.

Example

Let's look at the following example, where we are going to use the menu tag.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <title>HTML menu Tag</title>
</head>
<body>
   <menu>
      <li>ol - ordered list</li>
      <li>ul - unordered list</li>
      <li>dir - directory list</li>
      <li>menu - menu list</li>
   </menu>
</body>
</html>

When we run the above code, it will generate an output consisting of the list items displayed on the webpage.
