The HTML <main>
element represents the main content of the <body>
of a document or application. The main content area consists of content that is directly related to, or expands upon the central topic of a document or the central functionality of an application. This content should be unique to the document, excluding any content that is repeated across a set of documents such as sidebars, navigation links, copyright information, site logos, and search forms (unless the document's main function is as a search form).

Browser compatibility
The <main>
element is widely supported. For Internet Explorer 11 and below, it is suggested that an aria role of "main"
be added to the <main>
element to ensure it is accessible (screen readers like JAWS, used in combination with older versions of Internet Explorer will be able to understand the semantic meaning of the <main>
element once this role
attribute is included).
<main role="main"> ... </main>
