Using HTML section Tags

The HTML section element, defined by section tags, defines a section of a document, web page, or an application:

<section>
  <h1>Section Heading</h1>
  <p>The section tag can contain any elements.</p>
  <img src="image.png" alt="section example">
</section>

Elements of a section are similar in theme and thus possible to group together logically. For example, a company's web site might have separate sections for contact information, news, or special offers.

For identification purposes, HTML sections usually have headings, like <h1>, <h2>, ... <h6>.

Note: HTML5 section is called a semantic element, because the tag defines its content. Such elements help browsers understand web pages correctly.
