HTML <aside> Tag

Description

The <aside> HTML tag is used to mark content that is tangentially related to the main content of a web page but can be considered separate from it. It is often used for sidebars, pull quotes, or other content that provides additional context or information but can be skipped or ignored without affecting the overall understanding of the page. The <aside> tag helps improve the semantic structure of a webpage by indicating that the enclosed content is not crucial to the main narrative but provides supplementary details or related content. It is commonly used in conjunction with articles and sections to enhance the organization and accessibility of web content.
