Meaning

The hidden attribute is a Boolean, or presence-based, attribute that does not require a value.

The element is not currently relevant and the user agent should not render it when this attribute is specified

This attribute was initially called irrelevant in earlier HTML5 drafts.

Notes:

In XHTML5, you should use the value of hidden, as attributes must have values with XML syntax.

If elements styled display: flex; will be displayed despite the hidden attribute's presence.
