You probably know that the semantic
`<time>` tag can be used to display a date or time. It's recommended to use it with the `datetime` attribute which brings some benefits:- Search engines produce better results
- It can be used by some devices allowing you to add a reminder or calendar event easily
html
<div>The meeting will start at <time>09:00</time></div>
<!-- Better -->
<div>The meeting will start at <time datetime="09:00">09:00</time></div>
