HTML <data>
Tag
The <data>
tag in HTML is used to provide a machine-readable version of the content within the tag. This can be useful for search engines, screen readers, and other tools that may need to parse the data within the tag.
How to use the <data>
tag:
To use the <data>
tag, simply wrap the data you want to provide a machine-readable version of within the opening and closing <data>
tags. You can then use the value
attribute to provide the machine-readable version of the data.
Example:
<p>The temperature today is <data value="72">72°F</data></p>
In this example, the machine-readable version of the temperature is provided in the value
attribute, while the human-readable version of the temperature is displayed within the <data>
tags.
Attributes of the <data>

Overall, the <data>
tag is a useful tool for providing machine-readable data within an HTML document.
