The dfn tag

The dfn tag specifies a term encountered for the first time in a document (definition of something new).

By default, browsers display the contents of the dfn tag in italics, but this can be changed using the font-style property.

Example

Let's introduce a new term into the text and include it in the dfn tag to show this:

<dfn>Shovel</dfn> - a tool for digging up soil.
