## HTML <header> Element

The <header> element in an HTML document represents a heading where the main title of that page is placed inside a <header> tag.

The <header> element mainly consists of :

1.) Heading elements(<h1> - <h6>)

2.) Logo and Moto of the file

## HTML <article> Element

If you want an element that specifies self-contained content, you should go with the <article> tag.

An article is a container that delivers content separately from the rest of the website.

Examples where the <article> element can be used:

- Forum post
- Blog post
- Newspaper article

## HTML <main> Element

The <main> tag refers to the main content of the web page.

The content inside the <main> tag refers to the unique content of the website. Remember, the <main> tag includes content that is not repeated on various pages of the website such as sidebars, navigation links, copyright information, site logos and search forms.

## HTML <nav> Element

The <nav> tag is used to indicate the navigation link of the webpage.

## HTML <section> Element

The <section> tag is used to specify the section elements of a web page.

## HTML <aside> Element

The <aside> tag indicates the content that will be placed on one side of the document.

## HTML <footer> Element

The <footer> tag indicates the content that will be at the bottom of the web page. They simply contain the basic introduction section of the website.

A <footer> element typically contains:

- authorship information
- contact information
- sitemap
- back to top links
- copyright information
- related documents

You can have multiple <footer> elements in a document.
