KBD - Text to be Input

The KBD element denotes text to be entered by the user. Visual browsers typically render KBD as monospaced text, but authors can suggest a rendering using style sheets. Since KBD is a structural element, it carries meaning, making it preferable to font style elements such as TT when marking up text to be entered by the user.

Example:

<P>If the question does not apply to you, enter <KBD>N/A</KBD>.
