Working With Abbr And Address Tags in HTML5

Working With Abbr And Address Tags in HTML5 

 

<abbr> (Abbreviation)

 
First I want to explain the meaning of abbreviation; it is "A shortened form of a word or phrase". An abbreviation is used in HTML5 to clearly indicate to the reader the sequence of Characters. In short, it provides a brief description of the cell content. When you hover your mouse over abbreviation text then you will see the full detail of abbreviation. It is an inline element and it can also use other inline elements. For example (such as the USA of United States of America, UAE of United Arab Emirates, WWW if the World Wide Web, Mr. instead of Mister, or Calif instead of California). Most browsers render an <abbr> tag with a dotted line.

<address> (Address)

 
An Address tag is used to display contact information of authorship or ownership. It's default style is the italics font style in the absence of Cascading Style Sheet (CSS). An <address> tag may not contain another <address> tag. It is usually used in a header or footer of the webpage. The <address> tag cannot contain <article>, <aside>, <nav>, <section>, <header>, <footer>, <hgroup>, <h1>-<h6> or other <address> elements.
