Attributes

Like all other HTML elements, this element supports the global attributes.

datetime

This attribute indicates the time and/or date of the element and must be in one of the formats described below.

Usage notes

This element is for presenting dates and times in a machine-readable format. For example, this can help a user agent offer to add an event to a user's calendar.

This element should not be used for dates prior to the introduction of the Gregorian calendar (due to complications in calculating those dates).

The datetime value (the machine-readable value of the datetime) is the value of the element's datetime attribute, which must be in the proper format (see below). If the element does not have a datetime attribute, it must not have any element descendants, and the datetime value is the element's child text content.
