Some alternatives to consider (if not for these then maybe for some of the more semantic macros): : "The var element represents a variable." : "The samp element represents sample or quoted output from another program or computing system." : "The kbd element represents user input (typically keyboard input, although it may also be used to represent other input, such as voice commands." http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/text-level-semantics.html#the-var-element http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/text-level-semantics.html#the-samp-element http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/text-level-semantics.html#the-kbd-element -- Anthony J.
