Introduction to <hgroup>tag

The <hgroup>tag in HTML is a semantic element used to group a set of <h1>to <h6>heading elements when a section requires multiple levels of headings that are logically related. This tag helps improve the accessibility and structure of web content by associating a main heading with its subheadings, creating a more meaningful and hierarchical structure for assistive technologies like screen readers.
