The ARTICLE element represents a section of content that forms an independent part of a document, a self-contained unit of information that may be linked to or included in some other content body.

<article>...</article> tags may be nested, meaning there can be child ARTICLE elements of a parent ARTICLE element.

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

NOTE: Both start and end tags are required.

The following example shows how the <article> element may be used.

Sample Code

<article>
   <h2>What you should know</h2>
   <article>
      <h3>HTML</h3>
      <p>HTML is the standard language for Web pages. It comprises a family of markup languages 
         used for displaying information viewable in a web browser. </p>
   </article>

         the presentation and styling of a document written in a markup language such as HTML or XML. </p>
