HTML <kbd> Tag

Description

The <kbd> HTML tag is used to define keyboard input or user-generated text within a document. It is typically displayed in a monospaced font to indicate that the enclosed text represents something that a user would type on a keyboard. This tag is commonly employed in documentation, tutorials, or any content where it's important to distinguish between regular text and user input, making it clear what the user should type or interact with on their keyboard.
