What is Main Element?

The <main> element in HTML defines the primary content of a document's <body>. It should contain the central topic of the page, excluding any content that is repeated across multiple pages, such as navigation, headers, or footers. Using <main> helps improve accessibility and provides a clear structure for search engines and assistive technologies to understand the page's purpose.
