The header HTMLtag is a container for introductory content, such as a logo and a navigation menu. It can also be used in multiple areas on the page, like inside an <article> tag, but it cannot be placed within a <footer>, <address>, or another <header> tag.

Syntax

Here’s an example of a document with multiple headers:

<body>
  <header>
    <a href="https://example.com"><img src="/assets/images/logo.jpg" alt="Example Logo">
  </header>
  <article>
    <header>
      <h1>This is the title</h1>
      <p>Written by John Doe</p>
    </header>
    <p>This is some additional content.</p>
  </article>
</body>
