</html>The <nav> tag defines a set of navigation links.
Notice that NOT all links of a document should be inside a <nav> element. The <nav> element is intended only for the major block of navigation links.
Browsers, such as screen readers for disabled users, can use this element to determine whether to omit the initial rendering of this content.
The <main> tag specifies the main content of a document.
The content inside the <main> element should be unique to the document. It should not contain any content that is repeated across documents such as sidebars, navigation links, copyright information, site logos, and search forms.
The <footer> tag defines a footer for a document or section.
A <footer> element typically contains:
- authorship information
- copyright information
- contact information
- sitemap
- back to the top links
- related documents
The <div> tag defines a division or a section in an HTML document.
The <div> tag is used as a container for HTML elements – which is then styled with CSS or manipulated with JavaScript.
The <div> tag is easily styled by using the class or id attribute.
Any sort of content can be put inside the <div> tag!
Note: By default, browsers always place a line break before and after the <div> element.
