The <address> tag in HTML is used to define contact information for the author or owner of a document or an article. It is typically used for information such as an address, email, or phone number.

  • The <address> element is a block-level element by default.
  • The content inside <address> is usually displayed in italics and may have a line break after it.
  • It should not be used for generic addresses (like physical locations), but only for authorial contact information.

Note: The <address> tag also supports the Global Attributes and Event Attributes in HTML.

HTML 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<body>
    <address>
            GeeksforGeeks.org  
    </address>
</body>

</html>
  • The <address> tag contains the contact information for GeeksforGeeks.

Styling the <address> Tag

<html lang="en">
<head>
    <style>
        address {
            font-style: normal; /* Removes italic style */
            color: #333;
            line-height: 1.5;
        }
    </style>
</head>

  • The CSS within the <style> tag customizes the appearance of the <address> element.
  • The font-style: normal; rule removes the default italic styling applied by browsers.

Best Practices for Using the <address> Tag

  • Use <address> to enclose contact details of the document's author or owner.
  • Avoid using <address> for unrelated contact information.
  • Place <address> within relevant sections, like <footer>, to associate contact info appropriately.
