Contact details in HTML

The address element is for contacting a person, not for postal addresses in general.

<article>
  <h2>On split keyboards</h2>
  <p>Two halves, two shoulders.</p>
  <footer>
    <address>
      Written by <a href="/authors/ada">Ada Lovelace</a>.
      Questions: <a href="mailto:ada@example.com">ada@example.com</a>
    </address>
    <p>Published <time datetime="2026-07-14">14 July 2026</time></p>
  </footer>
</article>

How it works

<address> holds contact details for its nearest article or the page.
A postal address in body text is just a paragraph.
It usually lives in the footer of the thing it belongs to.
