HTML <main> Tag

The HTML <main> tag is an HTML5 element that defines the primary content of an HTML document, and each document should only have one <main> element.

The <main> element's content should be unique to the document.

Sidebars, navigation links, copyright information, site logos, and search boxes are examples of content that should not be repeated throughout documents.

Syntax

<main> Contents here... </main>

Example

	<h1>Semantic Web</h1>
	<p>Tim Berner-Lee invented the World Wide Web. He created it as an interface for the Internet and a way for people to share information. The future web is what he calls the semantic web.</p>
	<p>Right now the web is geared for humans. Although a search engine can scan the web for keywords it cannot understand how they are used on the page.</p>
