The <article> tag is one of the new sectioning element in HTML5. The HTML article tag is used to represent an article. More specifically, the content within the <article> tag is independent of the other content of the site (even though it can be related). In other words, the article element represents the component of a page that consists of self-contained composition in a document, page, or site. Example 1: html 
<!DOCTYPE html> <html>  <head>     <title>         Specify the main content of a          document using HTML5     </title> </head>  <body>     <h2>GeeksForGeeks</h2>      <h2>         HTML5: How to specify the          main content of a document     </h2>       <article style="width: 300px;                      border: 2px solid gray;                      padding: 10px;                      border-radius: 10px;                     margin: 5px;">          <img src= "https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/cdn-uploads/20190710102234/download3.png"             alt="Geeks" width="300" height="250"              class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-560930" />          <h1>GeeksforGeeks</h1>          <p>             Sandeep Jain(FOUNDER) An IIT Roorkee              alumnus and founder of GeeksforGeeks.             Apart from GeeksforGeeks, he has worked             with DE Shaw and Co. as a software developer             and JIIT Noida as an assistant professor.         </p>     </article> </body>  </html>
Output: Example 2: html 
<!DOCTYPE html> <html>  <head>     <meta charset="utf-8" />      <title>         Specify the main content of          a document using HTML5     </title> </head>  <body>     <h2>GeeksForGeeks</h2>     <h2>         HTML5: How to specify the          main content of a document?     </h2>      <article>         <h1>search engines</h1>          <p>             Google, Bing, and Yahoo! are the              most used search engines today.         </p>          <h1>Google</h1>         <p>             The world's most popular              search engine.         </p>          <h1>Bing</h1>         <p>             Microsoft's entry into the              burgeoning search engine              market. Better late than              never.         </p>          <h1>Yahoo!</h1>         <p>             The 2nd largest search              engine on the web         </p>     </article> </body>  </html>
