HTML Tags
HTML5 <article> Tag
The <article> tag represents a self-contained piece of content that could be distributed and reused independently, such as a blog post or news story.
What is the <article> tag?
The <article> element, introduced in HTML5, represents a complete, self-contained composition that is independently distributable or reusable. Examples include a forum post, a magazine or newspaper article, a blog entry, a product card, or a user-submitted comment.
A good test: if the content would still make sense on its own, syndicated via RSS or displayed elsewhere, it is a good candidate for <article>. Articles can be nested, for example a comment inside a blog post.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<article>
<h2>How to Ace an Internship Interview</h2>
<p>Preparation is the key to a confident interview...</p>
<footer>Posted by the Careers Team</footer>
</article>
</body>
</html>Each <article> should usually have a heading (h1 to h6) to identify it. Use <section> for thematic grouping and <div> for purely stylistic wrapping.
The <article> tag supports only global attributes, renders as a block-level element by default, and is supported in all modern browsers.
