If you have just started your journey to become a developer or you're a pro, HTML is something that you will be encountering often in your path. Here is the list of five less-known HTML tags which can be especially useful in your web page design -
<details>and<summary>: These tags can be used to add optionally expandable sections to your web page. The<details>tag adds expandible/collapsible functionality for a given content and the<summary>tag holds the summary of the content to be displayed.
Example :
<h1>This is a Details section</h1>
<details>
<summary>The Content</summary>
<p>This is the content you wanted to read after clicking</p>
</details>
Result :
<mark>: This tag is used to highlight a particular word or section to put more emphasis on a particular area.
Example :
<h1>The mark element</h1>
<p>Do not forget to buy <mark>milk</mark> today.</p>
Result :
<small>: This tag is used to display a particular section in smaller font - thus implying that the denoted part is less important
Example :
<h1>The small element</h1>
<p>This is normal text.</p>
<p><small>This is smaller text.</small></p>
Result :
<meter>: This element is used as visual representation of a number within a predefined range of numbers. This is particularly useful to display current usage status, progress bars etc.
Example :
<h1>The meter element</h1>
<label for="disk_c">Disk usage C:</label>
<meter id="disk_c" value="2" min="0" max="10">2 out of 10</meter><br>
<label for="disk_d">Disk usage D:</label>
<meter id="disk_d" value="0.6">60%</meter>
Result :
<cite>: This tag is used to denote the title of a work of art (e.g. - a song, a movie, a play, a painting etc). The display is in italics.
Example :
<h1>The cite element</h1>
<img src="img_the_scream.jpg" width="220" height="277" alt="The Scream">
<p><cite>The Scream</cite> by Edward Munch. Painted in 1893.</p>

Apart from these tags, there are lots of other tags as well which can be carefully chosen to design your webpage fantastically. So do fiddle around and explore unlimited possibilities.
