description & Usage

<time> tag is used to add machine-readable translation for computers or robots.

By using this tag we can:

  • A human-readable value displayed in browsers (between the tags)
  • A machine-readable equivalent of that value (in the datetime attribute)

Display them.

Consider the following example: 

<p>
     today is <time datetime="2022-09-13 00:00">Programmer's Day</time>
</p>

<data> tag is used for machine-readable non-temporal translations.
