HTML <kbd> tag

HTML <kbd> tag indicates the part of inline text which represents the user keyboard input, voice input, or any other text entry device input.

The <kbd> text renders on the browser in default monospace font. It is used when a document needs to display the text which user should enter exactly from his keyboard.

Note: We can also use CSS properties to get the same display effect as <kbd> tag.
