The <article> Element

Article is a self-contained, independent piece of content that can be used and distributed separately from the rest of the page or site. This could be a forum post, a magazine or newspaper article, a blog entry, a comment, an interactive widget or gadget, or any other independent piece of content. 

The <article> element replaces the <div>element that was widely used in HTML4, along with an id or class.

<article>
<h1>The article title</h1>
<p>Contents of the article element </p>
</article>Try It Yourself

When an <article> element is nested, the inner element represents an article related to the outer element. For example, blog post comments can be <article> elements nested in the <article> representing the blog post.
