<tt>Compare teletype text</tt> to non-teletype text.
<tt> Special Notes:
- Use the teletype tag when you want a monospaced font.
- Do not use it for text that represents computer code - use the <code> tag.
- This tag has a distinct advantage over the <pre> tag (that many people use to get monospaced fonts), because it doesn't affect the formatting of the text.
