HTML Semantic Elements

HTML Semantic Elements

Semantic elements clearly define the role of content on a web page, improving structure and accessibility. Examples include <header>, <footer>, <article>, and <section>.

Example:

<header>
  <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>
</header>
<section>
  <article>
    <h2>Article Title</h2>
    <p>This is an article.</p>
  </article>
</section>
<footer>
  <p>&copy; 2023 My Website</p>
</footer>

Benefits of Semantic Elements:

1. Improved Accessibility: Helps screen readers understand the structure of the page.
2. Better SEO: Search engines can better understand the content.
3. Cleaner Code: Makes the code easier to read and maintain.
