Article Tag

Address Tag

 
The <address> tag defines the contact information about the owner of the article or document. The <address> tag must not be used to represent any postal address unless the address represents the contact information. In order to display the postal address, we simply use the <p> tag.
 
If the address tag is inside the <body> element, it represents the contact information about the document and if the <address> tag is inside the <article> element, then it represents the contact information about that article. Usually, text inside the <address> tag occurs in italic form.
 
<address>tag cannot contain <article>,<nav>,<aside>,<header>,<footer>,<section> tags.
