Information Object

Keyboard Input

Definition

Information that the reader of the book needs to input directly into a computer using the keyboard.

Markup

Content that is to be entered into a computer via a keyboard is to be marked with the <kbd> tag. This tag can be used in either block or inline settings. See also Information Object: Computer Code and Information Object: Sample.

Playback devices can be configured so that text tagged as <kbd> will preserve all white space (line breaks, indentation, etc.).

Syntax

<kbd>…</kbd>

Example

<p>To add a filename parameter to the DIR command, you can type the following text.</p>

<kbd>DIR C: MYFILE.TXT</kbd>

<p>In symbolic notation, MYFILE.TXT would be shown as filename.ext.</p>
