NOTE: Both start and end tags are required.

The <address> element is used to show author referral information, such as address, signature, and authorship of the current document. It is usually placed at the top or bottom of a document.

An address element displays as a block, typically in italic.

The element starts on a new line, though most browsers do not add extra space before an <address> tag.

The <address> element has no attribute of its own, but supports global attributes common to all HTML elements.

The following shows how the address element may be used.
