HTML Address Tag

HTML Address Tag (<address>) defines the address or contact information of the owner of the resource or article or even document.

As a general convention, it is understood that if the Address Tag is inside the HTML <body> Tag or element then the Address Tag represents the address or contact information for that document or resource.

If the Address Tag is inside the HTML <article> Tag or element then the Address Tag represents the address or contact information for that article.

Also, the text within the HTML Address Tag is usually written in italics.

Most of the browsers will generally add a line break before and after the Address Tag.

Syntax for HTML Address Tag

Important Points about HTML Address Tag:-

HTML Address Tag should not be used to depict personal address until and unless the personal address is a part of your contact information.

The HTML Address Tag is typically included at the footer section of the webpage or resource.

In HTML 4.0.1 the HTML <article> tag is not supported and hence the HTML Address Tag defines the contact information for the document or resource owner.
