A document mustn't have more than one <main> element that doesn't have the hidden attribute specified.
This element only includes the global attributes.
Usage notesThe content of a <main> element should be unique to the document. Content that is repeated across a set of documents or document sections such as sidebars, navigation links, copyright information, site logos, and search forms shouldn't be included unless the search form is the main function of the page.
<main> doesn't contribute to the document's outline; that is, unlike elements such as <body>, headings such as h2, and such, <main> doesn't affect the DOM's concept of the structure of the page. It's strictly informative.
The <main> element behaves like a main landmark role. Landmarks can be used by assistive technology to quickly identify and navigate to large sections of the document. Prefer using the <main> element over declaring role="main", unless there are legacy browser support concerns.
Skip navigation, also known as "skipnav", is a technique that allows an assistive technology user to quickly bypass large sections of repeated content (main navigation, info banners, etc.). This lets the user access the main content of the page faster.
Adding an id attribute to the <main> element lets it be a target of a skip navigation link.
<body>
<a href="#main-content">Skip to main content</a>
<!-- navigation and header content -->
<main id="main-content">
<!-- main page content -->
</main>
</body>
Browser reader mode functionality looks for the presence of the <main> element, as well as heading and content sectioning elements when converting content into a specialized reader view.
