When a website needs to present options, collect visitor information, or display data in rows and columns, lists, forms, and tables are the elements that make it happen.

Semantic HTML tags do more than create content — they tell browsers, search engines, and screen readers exactly what that content means and where it belongs on the page. In this module, you'll distinguish between tags like header, nav, main, section, article, and footer, and identify when the div tag is still the right tool for the job.
