我应该为文字使用什么标签？ html5

Question

What tag should i use for small amount of text. For example it is good practise to use p tag for every "small" text like here "username" and pasword" or for day/month/year, should i use also p tag?

<div class="login-area">
    <p>Username:</p>
    <input type="text">   
    <p>Password:</p> 
    <input type="password">
</div>

Answer 1

Use

<label for="name">Your Form label</label>
<input type="text" name="name">   

<label for="password">Your Form label</label>
<input type="password" name="password>

Answer 2

As Others have suggested <label></label> tag is other option that you can use.

Some of it's use cases are as follows:

 <input type="text" id="lastname" /> <label for="lastname">Last Name</label> 

 <label> Name : <input type="text" name="lastname" /> </label> 

 <label for="lastname">Last Name</label> <input type="text" id="lastname" />
