HTML Semantic Elements are HTML tags that have a specific meaning, describing the content they contain. These tags not only provide structure to the content of a webpage but also help search engines and other web tools to better understand the content of the page.
Here are some examples of HTML Semantic Elements:
- header – represents the header of a section or page
- nav – represents a section of navigation links
- main – represents the main content of the page
- article – represents a self-contained piece of content, such as a blog post or news article
- section – represents a generic section of content, such as a chapter or a grouping of related content
- aside – represents a section of content that is related to the main content, such as a sidebar or a call-out box
- footer – represents the footer of a section or page
Using semantic elements in HTML not only helps make the code more readable and maintainable, but also improves accessibility, search engine optimization, and the overall user experience of the website.
