HTML <tt> Tag

The <tt> tag in HTML stands for teletype text. It was used in HTML 4 to define text in a monospaced, teletype-style font. However, the tag has been deprecated in HTML5 because it only served a presentational purpose without adding any semantic meaning to the content.

Instead of using <tt> tag, achieve the same result by using CSS to apply a monospaced font to the text. The font-family property is used to set a monospaced font, such as Courier, Courier New, or monospace

Syntax

<kbd>: Represents user input, like keyboard strokes.
<var>: Represents a variable in programming or math.
<code>: Represents a fragment of computer code.
<samp>: Represents sample output from a program or system.
