HTML <article> Tag

The HTML <article> tag is used to represent a self-contained content block that can be independently distributed or reused. This can include articles, blog posts, forums, news articles, and more.

One of the main benefits of using the <article> tag is that it helps to improve the organization and structure of your HTML code. By enclosing related content within an <article> element, you can better indicate the hierarchy and relationships between different pieces of content on your webpage.

Here are some examples of how you might use the <article> tag in your HTML code:

<article>
  <h2>Article Title</h2>
  <p>Article content goes here...</p>
</article>
<article>
  <h2>Blog Post Title</h2>
  <p>Blog post content goes here...</p>
</article>
<article>
  <h2>Forum Post Title</h2>
  <p>Forum post content goes here...</p>
</article>

In each of these examples, the <article> tag is used to enclose a self-contained piece of content, such as an article, blog post, or forum post. The <h2> element is used to indicate the title of the content, and the <p> element is used to contain the actual content of the article, blog post, or forum post.

It's worth noting that the <article> tag should only be used for content that can be independently distributed or reused. If the content is closely related to the surrounding context and cannot be easily separated, it may be more appropriate to use a different element, such as a <div> or a <section>.

The <article> tag is a useful tool for organizing and structuring your HTML code and can help to improve the readability and maintainability of your web pages.
