This is a nasty, ugly section. In here are the odds and ends you will probably never use, but should probably know about when working on webpages. There's no point in explaining each item in long paragraphs, so it's arranged in a table. Hope this is useful.
| The Code | What You See | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| This is known as <ins>inserted<ins> text. | This is known as inserted text. | This does nothing more than underline, but it is used to show that words have been added since the original. Editor's code. |
| This is known as <code> code </code> writing. | This is known as code writing. | Apparently is was meant to separate code from the rest of the document. Using <pre> is preferred. |
| This is the <kbd>keyboard </kbd> command. | This is the keyboard command. | This command produces a fixed font (tt) and indicates that the enclosed data should be typed in at a keyboard. |
| This is the <samp>sample</samp> command. | This is the sample command. | This is similar to <code> |
| This is the <var> variable</var> command | This is the variable command. | A horribly pointless tag because there are no variables in HTML. I guess a wishful computer person came up with this. |
| This is the <abbr> abbreviation</abbr> tag. | This is the abbreviation tag. | All this does is indicate the the text between the tags is an abreviation. Useful for computers for the blind, I guess. |
| This is the <acronym>acronym</acronym> tag. | This is the acronym tag. | Also nearly useless. Used to show an acronym, like SCUBA. |
| This is the <address>address</address> tag. | This is the address tag. | Italicizes the words. Used to indicate an address. |
| This is the <bdo lang=HE dir="rtl">text direction</bdo> tag. | This is the text direction tag. | This can be used to change the direction that the text is read. Very useful for languages which are read right to left, like Hebrew. On some computers the words are backward. |
| This is the <q>quotation</q> tag. | This is the quotationtag. | This is used to show that you're quoting someone in your website. |
| This is the <cite>citation</cite> tag. | This is the citation tag. | Like the quote, this shows you are citing a work. The citation is also emphasized with italics. |
| This is the <dfn>definition</dfn> tag. | This is the definition tag. | A definition of a word is indicated with this tag. |
