3 HTML tags youve never heard of or used before

HTML does have some strange code sometimes. Let's look at the 3 most uncommon tags that are rarely used and what their purpose is.

1. var tag

As far as its usage goes, its meant to simply denote to a browser that a mathematics variable will go inside the tag, so yeah its not so usefull but here's how we can use it.

<p>The area of a triangle is: 1/2 x <var>b</var> x <var>h</var>, where <var>b</var> is the base, and <var>h</var> is the vertical height.</p>

2. samp tag

The samp tag is used to define sample output from a computer program. So its usage is similar to the var tag. Here's an example of how we can use samp.

<p>Message from my computer:</p><p><samp>File not found.<br>Press F1 to continue</samp></p>

3. kbd tag

The kbd tag is used to define keyboard input. The content inside is displayed in the browser's default monospace font. Here's an example:

<p>Press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd> to copy text (Windows).</p><p>Press <kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd> to copy text (Mac OS).</p>

So there you have it, 3 obscure html tags that are not the most useful but will probably make you look more professional when used in the proper context (at work, for demo purposes).
