This page list all standard HTML5 elements, described by their opening tag and grouped by function. Contrary to the HTML Element index which lists all possible tags, standard, non-standard, valid, obsolete or deprecated ones, this list only the valid HTML5 elements. Only those should be used in new Web sites.
The symbol indicates that the element has been added in HTML5. Note that other elements listed here may have been modified or extended by the HTML5 specification.
Defines the title of the document, shown in a browser's title bar or on the page's tab. It can only contain text and any contained tags are not interpreted.
Heading elements implement six levels of document headings, <h1> is the most important and <h6> is the least. A heading element briefly describes the topic of the section it introduces.
Associates to its content a machine-readable equivalent. (This element is only in the WHATWG version of the HTML standard, and not in the W3C version of HTML5).
Represents a variable, that is an actual mathematical expression or programming context, an identifier representing a constant, a symbol identifying a physical quantity, a function parameter, or a mere placeholder in prose.
Represents some text in an alternate voice or mood, or at least of different quality, such as a taxonomic designation, a technical term, an idiomatic phrase, a thought or a ship name.
Represents a text which to which attention is drawn for utilitarian purposes. It doesn't convey extra importance and doesn't implicate an alternate voice.
Represents content to be marked with ruby annotations, short runs of text presented alongside the text. This is often used in conjunction with East Asian language where the annotations act as a guide for pronunciation, like the Japanese furigana.
Represents parenthesis around a ruby annotation, used to display the annotation in an alternate way by browsers not supporting the standard display for annotations.
Represents text that must be isolated from its surrounding for bidirectional text formatting. It allows to embed span of text with a different, or unknown, directionality.
Represents text with no specific meaning. This has to be used when no other text-semantic element conveys an adequate meaning, which, in this case, is often brought by global attributes like class, lang, or dir.
