HTML Tags

HTML5 <aside> Tag

The <aside> tag represents content that is tangentially related to the surrounding content, such as a sidebar, pull quote, or set of related links.


What is the <aside> tag?

The <aside> element, part of HTML5, marks up content that is only indirectly related to the main content around it. It is often presented as a sidebar or a call-out box. Its content should be separable from the main flow without reducing the main content's meaning.

Complete example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <body>
    <article>
      <h2>Resume Writing Tips</h2>
      <p>Start with a strong summary that highlights your goals...</p>

      <aside>
        <h3>Related</h3>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#">Cover letter basics</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Top interview questions</a></li>
        </ul>
      </aside>
    </article>
  </body>
</html>
ℹ️

Do not use <aside> for content that is central to the main topic. Reserve it for supplementary material like ads, author bios, or related links.

The <aside> tag supports only global attributes, is block-level by default, and is supported in all modern browsers.
