<tt>
The <tt> (teletype) element is typically used to apply monospaced
highlighting to the content of the element. This element is part of the highlighting domain. Use this element only when a more
semantically appropriate element is not available. For example, for
specific items such as inline code fragments, use the <codeph>
element.
note
Style sheets can be used to format the
<tt> element differently, just like any other element can be
restyled. Thus, it is not the case that content in <tt> elements
will necessarily be rendered as monospaced.
