Introduction to <tt>tag

The <tt>tag in HTML, which stands for "teletype text," was originally used to display text in a monospaced font, meaning each character occupies the same amount of horizontal space. This type of font is often associated with old-fashioned typewriters and early computer terminals, hence the name "teletype."

Warning: The <tt>tag is deprecated and no longer part of modern web standards. It should be avoided in contemporary web development practices. The <tt>tag was used to render text in a monospaced, or "teletype," font. However, this approach is outdated. Instead, use CSS to apply the font-family property with a monospaced font, such as Courier or monospace. This method is more versatile and aligns with current best practices in web development, ensuring consistent styling and better accessibility across all browsers.

Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended for use but while some browsers might still support it but it may have already been removed from web standards or it could be in the process of being phased out, it might only be retained for compatibility with older web projects and it's advisable to avoid using this feature and update your existing code wherever possible, refer to the compatibility table below for guidance and keep in mind that the feature may stop functioning in the future.
