HTML <address> Address Tag Reference

The <address> HTML/xHTML tag

The <address> tag defines contact information such as postal address, phone numbers, email addresses etc.

When to use the <address> tag (semantic use)

You can use <address> to define an area of a page which contains contact details, but it's not commonly used. A better alternative might be microformats, which allow for more detail and interoperability.

It's valid in all current versions of HTML and xHTML, and it should always have a closing </address> tag.
