HTML5 Semantics
The HTML5 Semantics refers to the semantic tags that provide meaning to an HTML page. In HTML5 the tags are divided into two categories - semantic and non-semantic. HTML5 brings several new semantic tags to the HTML.
Some HTML5 Semantic tags are −
| Tags | Explanation |
|---|---|
| figure | It specifies an image with different formats. |
| article | It specifies an independent self-containing article. |
| nav | It specifies a container for navigation links. |
| aside | It specifies a tag for content aside from main content (like a sidebar). |
| section | It represents a section in a document. |
| details | It specifies a tag for additional details. |
| header | It specifies a header for a section or for a document. |
| footer | It specifies a footer for a section or for a document |
| figcaption | It specifies a small description for an image on an HTML document. |
| main | It specifies the main content of the page and it should be unique. |
| summary | It specifies a header for the <details> element. |
| mark | It specifies highlighted text. |
Let us see an example of HTML5 Semantics −
