Use cases

  • Posts and news items

    Mark self-contained pieces of content that make sense outside the surrounding page.

  • Feed cards

    Use article for repeated result items, updates, or cards that each carry their own heading and metadata.

Cautions

  • Do not use article for every visual section. Some page regions are better expressed as section, div, or list items.
  • An article should usually have its own heading or clear label so its boundaries are understandable.

Accessibility

  • Clear headings and metadata make repeated article blocks much easier to scan with assistive technology.
