KBD Tag Description:
The KBD tag defines text that should be entered by a user — as in a keyboard. Most browsers display this text in a monospaced font.
The KBD tag is a semantic tag that gives the enclosed text a specific meaning for the computer. These types of tags are used more for style and to markup your text more meaningfully than for layout or design.

KBD Tag Special Notes:
