<article>: The Article Contents element

The <article> HTML element represents a self-contained composition in a document, page, application, or site, which is intended to be independently distributable or reusable (e.g., in syndication). Examples include: a forum post, a magazine or newspaper article, or a blog entry, a product card, a user-submitted comment, an interactive widget or gadget, or any other independent item of content.

Try it

A given document can have multiple articles in it; for example, on a blog that shows the text of each article one after another as the reader scrolls, each post would be contained in an <article> element, possibly with one or more <section>s within.

Content categories	Flow content, sectioning content, palpable content
Permitted content	Flow content.
Tag omission	None, both the starting and ending tag are mandatory.
Permitted parents	Any element that accepts flow content. Note that an `<article>` element must not be a descendant of an `<address>` element.
Implicit ARIA role	`article`
Permitted ARIA roles	`application`, `document`, `feed`, `main`, `none`, `presentation`, `region`
DOM interface	`HTMLElement`

Attributes

This element only includes the global attributes.

Usage notes

Each <article> should be identified, typically by including a heading (<h1> - <h6> element) as a child of the <article> element.
When an <article> element is nested, the inner element represents an article related to the outer element. For example, the comments of a blog post can be <article> elements nested in the <article> representing the blog post.
Author information of an <article> element can be provided through the <address> element, but it doesn't apply to nested <article> elements.
The publication date and time of an <article> element can be described using the datetime attribute of a <time> element.
