HTML tag for user interface elements

Question

I know about

code

and

kbd

tags. But is there a tag for user interface elements? To write markup like this:

<p>Then you should press <kbd>Enter</kbd> key or just press <ui>OK</ui> button.</p>

Also for window titles, checkboxes, radio buttons etc.

Answer 1

Is there a tag for user interface elements?

The appropriate element for marking up user input is <kbd>.

From the spec

The <kbd> element represents user input (typically keyboard input, although it may also be used to represent other input, such as voice commands).

_{Emphasis mine}

So your example would be appropriately marked up using:

<p>Then you should press <kbd>Enter</kbd> key or just press <kbd>OK</kbd> button.</p>
