HTML <dfn> tag
Syntax
<dfn> - </dfn>
Definition and Usage
The DFN element denotes the defining
instance of a term. Visual browsers typically render DFN
as italic text, but authors can suggest a rendering using style
sheets. Since DFN is a structural element, it
carries meaning, making it preferable to font style elements such as I
when marking up the defining instance of a term.
