HTML5 introduced several new tags that provide semantic meaning to the structure and content of web pages. Here are some of the most commonly used HTML5 tags:

• <header>: Represents the introductory content or a container for a group of introductory content.
• <nav>: Defines a section of navigation links.
• <main>: Represents the main content of the document.
• <article>: Represents a self-contained composition, such as a blog post or news article.
• <section>: Defines a standalone section or area within a document.
• <aside>: Represents content that is tangentially related to the main content, often presented as sidebars or callout boxes.
• <footer>: Represents the footer of a document or a section.
• <figure>: Represents self-contained content, such as images, illustrations, diagrams, or code snippets.
• <figcaption>: Provides a caption or description for the content within the <figure> element.
• <video>: Embeds a video into a web page.
• <audio>: Embeds audio content into a web page.
• <canvas>: Provides a drawing surface for graphics and animations.
• <progress>: Represents the progress of a task or process.
• <meter>: Represents a scalar measurement within a known range, such as disk usage or completion percentage.
