5 Unsung HTML Tags You Really Should Know🤔

acode123 - Dec 13 '22 - - Dev Community

HTML is such a simple language that most developers don't even consider it as a programming language, but today, we are going to go below the surface, and uncover 15 HTML tags that you can take advantage of today!

1. Cite

Cite is a tag that allows you to reference sources you mentioned throughout your website. It is mostly used in citing bibliographic or other site references.

<cite> example.com </cite>

Example of Cite

2. Address

Another HTML tag that acts pretty much exactly the same as the Cite tag. As the name suggests, this tag allows you to mark addresses.

<address style="font-size: 21px;">
Somewhere
<br>
1234 Street
<br>
Something, AUS
</address>

Example of Address

3. Details

This tag allows you to create a button which displays some information once clicked.

<details> <summary>Developers</summary> <p>The most important Occupation</p></details>

Details Example

4. Progress

You know those progress bars that show you how much percent a file is downloaded? Well, this is the tag behind that magic.

<label>Downloading progress:</label><progress value="32" max="100"> 32% </progress>

Example of progress

5. Mark

This tag allows you to highlight words, or phrases that you consider important for your audience to see.


<mark>Marked Text</mark>

Mark Example

A Quick Conclusion

Do I recommend you using any of these tags? Well, I don't. I believe that if these tags are unpopular, they might be no longer supported by HTML.

However, there is no harm in checking them out!
