HTML <menu> Tag
In HTML4, the <menu> element has become obsolete; it is recommended that you use <ul> instead. In HTML5, the <menu> element is again included, but in a different quality. Now it acts as a container for the <command> element and the creation of the menu.
Description
The <menu> HTML element is intended to display a list of menu items. Similarly to the <ol> and <ul> elements inside the <menu> container, the list is formed using <li>.
