How to Use CSS to style the <kbd> element

Define some text as computer code in a document.

Definition and Usage

The <code> tag is used to define a piece of computer code. The content inside is displayed in the browser's default monospace font.

Tip: This tag is not deprecated. However, it is possible to achieve richer effect by using CSS (see example below).

Browser Support

index.html

Example: HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
kbd {
  border-radius: 2px;
  padding: 2px;
  border: 1px solid black;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<h1>The kbd element + CSS</h1>

<p>Press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd> to copy text (Windows).</p>

<p>Press <kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd> to copy text (Mac OS).</p>

</body>
</html>
