HTML main tag
Well, as the name of the tag suggests, it is used to specify the main(dominant) content in the document. We can say that the main element contains the dominating content of the body of the document. The content of the main element is supposed to be unique throughout the document.
Let’s have a look at some examples right now so that we have a brief idea about using the main tag →
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang=”en”>
<head>
<meta charset=”UTF-8″>
<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=edge”>
<meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0″>
<title>Some heading…</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is some main content</h1>

</body>
</html>
If we try to open the file in the browser, the output is something like this –
