    recent browsers render the content of a <dfn> element in an italic font.

    Example

    <html>

    <head>

    </body>
    </html>
    This will produce the following result:

    Regular text. This is inside kbd element Regular text.

    11.Programming Variables
    This element is usually used in conjunction with the <pre> and <code> elements to 
    indicate that the content of that element is a variable.
    Example

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Variable Text Example</title>

    12.Program Output

    <head>
    <title>Program Output Example</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <p>Result produced by the program is <samp>Hello World!</samp></p>

    </html>

    This will produce the following result:

    Result produced by the program is Hello World!
