Emphasis (cont'd)

There are also several other tags for indicating the significance of text:

cite
citation or a reference (www.w3.org)
dfn
defining instance of the enclosed term (a cat is a small animal with soft fur which often keeps people as pets)
code
a fragment of computer code (print *, 'x=',x)
samp
sample output from programs, scripts, etc. (x= 5.)
kbd
text to be entered by the user (emacs test.txt)
var
an instance of a variable or program argument (x)
abbr
an abbreviated form (e.g.)
acronym
an acronym (HTML)
q
short quotation to be displayed in-line (meow) [the browser should add the quotation marks]
blockquote
long quotation to be displayed as a block (
meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow
)

The default appearance of text flagged in these ways will depend on the browser. The appearance can be modified using style sheets, which has been done for some of the examples above.
