HTML address: Main Tips

  • HTML <address> element specifies contact details, associated with the authors of certain web sites, pages, sections, files or articles.
  • <address> can be formatted according to a certain context.
  • The HTML <address> tags contain various information such as links, phone numbers, email addresses, social media handles, physical addresses, etc.

Use and Purpose of address

HTML <address> element adds the related contact information of an author of an article or a document. This element is often combined with HTML mailto property to quickly contact the author via email.

Example
<address>
  Written by <a href="mailto:hello@bitdegree.org">BitDegree</a>.
  Visit us at:
  https://www.bitdegree.org/<br>
</address>

Note: the text within the <address> tags is rendered in italics.

When <address> element is placed within an <article> element, it acts as contact information for that article.

Example
<article>
<h2>HTML Explained</h2>
<p>HTML is a universal language and one of the easiest for beginners to learn. </p>
<address>
Written by <a href="mailto:@bitdegree.org">Bitdegree</a>. 
Visit us at:
