{{tt|text to format here}}
 
This template is for formatting short bits of content (the only parameter) as monospaced (nonproportional) text. It is simply a quick shorthand for the necessary CSS code. It is a replacement for {{tag|<code><nowiki><tt}}>...</tt></nowiki></code>, which is an obsolete element under HTML5. ([https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/obsolete.html#non-conforming-features Non-conforming features])
 
This template ''should'' be used where the content is being rendered in monospaced text for purely stylistic/display reasons, where this display has no particular semantic significance.
 
It ''cannot'' be used to mark up multiple paragraphs, sections or other block elements, as it uses {{tag|<code><nowiki><span}}>...</span></nowiki></code>, which is an inline element.
 
{{tag|<code}}><nowiki><code>...</code></nowiki></code> is normally used to indicate source code and {{tag|<code><nowiki><var}}>...</var></nowiki></code> for variables or variable input.<br/>
{{tag|<code><nowiki><kbd}}>...</kbd></nowiki></code> and {{tag|<code><nowiki><samp>...</samp}}></nowiki></code> display similarly to {{tag|<code><nowiki><tt|o}}></nowiki></code>, and are normally used for keyboard and samples.
