HTML <nav> Tag
The nav tag is an HTML5 element that creates a section in an HTML document with navigation links.
The <nav>
element is another frequent name for this tag.
It's important to note that a <nav>
element should not contain all of a document's links. Only substantial blocks of navigation links should be placed in the <nav>
element.
This element can be used by browsers to determine whether to skip the initial rendering of this content, such as screen readers for disabled people.
