Summary
The HTML Teletype Text Element (<tt>
) produces an inline element displayed in the browser's default monotype font. This element was intended to style text as it would display on a fixed width display, such as a teletype. It probably is more common to display fixed width type using the <code>
element.
<code>
or <span>
with CSS, instead.Attributes

DOM Interface
This element implements the HTMLElement
interface.
Implementation note: up to Gecko 1.9.2 inclusive, Firefox implements the HTMLSpanElement
interface for this element.
Example
<p>Enter the following at the telnet command prompt: <code>set localecho</code><br /> The telnet client should display: <tt>Local Echo is on</tt></p>

Notes
- A CSS rule can be defined for the
tt
selector to override the browser's default font face. Preferences set by the user might take precedence over the specified CSS. - Although this element was not deprecated in the HTML 4.01 specification, its use is discouraged in favor of style sheets.
