HTML tt Tag

The HTML <tt> tag was previously used to represent teletype or monospaced text in HTML documents. However, it is now obsolete and no longer recommended for use in modern web development. Instead, the <code> or <pre> tags are commonly used to represent code or monospaced text.

To display code or monospaced text in HTML, you can use the <code> tag. Here’s an example:

HTML<span role="button" tabindex="0" data-code="<code>This is a code snippet.
<code>This is a code snippet.</code>

Alternatively, if you want to preserve line breaks and indentation, you can use the <pre> tag:

HTML<span role="button" tabindex="0" data-code="<pre> function helloWorld() { console.log("Hello, World!"); }
<pre>
  function helloWorld() {
    console.log("Hello, World!");
  }
</pre>

Both the <code> and <pre> tags are widely supported and provide better semantic meaning for representing code or monospaced text in HTML.

It’s important to note that if you are displaying actual code snippets, you may also want to consider using syntax highlighting libraries or tools to improve the readability and visual appearance of the code. These libraries apply appropriate styling and coloring to different code elements, making it easier for readers to understand and distinguish different parts of the code.
