HTML Phrase Tags
The phrase tags have been designed for specific purposes, though they are
displayed in a similar way as other basic tags like <b>, <i>, <pre>, and <tt>,
you have seen in previous chapter. This chapter will take you through all the
important phrase tags, so let's start seeing them one by one.

Text Abbreviation
You can abbreviate a text by putting it inside opening <abbr> and closing</abbr> tags. If present, the title attribute must contain this full description
and nothing else.

<html>
<head>
<title>Text Abbreviation</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>My best friend's name is <abbr title="Abhishek">Abhy</abbr>.</p>
</body>
</html>
Acronym Element
The <acronym> element allows you to indicate that the text between<acronym> and </acronym> tags is an acronym.
At present, the major browsers do not change the appearance of the content
of the <acronym> element.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Acronym Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This chapter covers marking up text in <acronym>XHTML</acronym>.</p>
</body>
</html>
This will produce following result:
Text Direction
The <bdo>…</bdo> element stands for Bi-Directional Override and it is usedto override the current text direction.
Example

<html>
<head>
<title>Text Direction Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This text will go left to right.</p>
<p><bdo dir="rtl">This text will go right to left.</bdo></p>
</body>
</html>

Special Terms
The <dfn>….</dfn>element (or HTML Definition Element) allows you to
specify that you are introducing a special term. Its usage is similar to italic
words in the midst of a paragraph.
Typically, you would use the <dfn> element the first time you introduce a key
term. Most recent browsers render the content of a <dfn> element in an italic
font.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Special Terms Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>The following word is a <dfn>special</dfn> term.</p>
</body>

Quoting Text
When you want to quote a passage from another source, you should put it in
between <blockquote>...</blockquote> tags.
Text inside a <blockquote> element is usually indented from the left and right
edges of the surrounding text, and sometimes uses an italicized font.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Blockquote Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>The following description of XHTML is taken from the W3C Web site:</p>
<blockquote>XHTML 1.0 is the W3C's first Recommendation for XHTML, following on from earlie
r work on HTML 4.01, HTML 4.0, HTML 3.2 and HTML 2.0.</blockquote>
</body>
</html>
This will produce following result:

Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Double Quote Example</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>
This will produce following result:
Text Citations
If you are quoting a text, you can indicate the source placing it between anopening <cite> tag and closing </cite> tag.
As you would expect in a print publication, the content of the <cite> element
is rendered in italicized text by default.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Citations Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This HTML tutorial is derived from <cite>W3 Standard for HTML</cite>.</p>
</body>
</html>
This will produce following result:
Computer Code
Any programming code to appear on a Web page should be placed inside<code>...</code> tags. Usually the content of the <code> element is
presented in a monospaced font, just like the code in most programming
books.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Computer Code Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Regular text. <code>This is code.</code> Regular text.</p>
</body>

<html>
<head>
<title>Variable Text Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><code>document.write("<var>user-name</var>")</code></p>
</body>
</html>
This will produce following result:

concepts.
