</address>
The <address>
element represents an address. This address is usually related to authorship of the current HTML document, or a section of the document.
Where to Put the <address>
Tag?
If the <address>
element's nearest ancestor is the <body>
element, it applies to the document as a whole. If its nearest ancestor is an <article>
element, then it applies to the section.
Can I use the <address>
Tag for Postal Addresses?
The <address>
element cannot represent arbitrary addresses (e.g. postal addresses) unless those addresses are the contact information for the document/section. Postal addresses should otherwise be placed inside <p>
tags.
