var

Used for indicating an instance of a variable or a parameter for an application.

Usage:

<var> ... blahblahblah ...</var>


Best Practice Example:
<font face="Times,serif" size="3" style="font: 11pt Times,serif;">
In the ASTRO application, <var>jd</var> is used for the Julian moment of calculation.<br />
Also calculated at that time are <var>jdUT</var>, <var>ut</var>,
<var>sg</var>, and <var>tl</var>, which represent the actual Julian day, the
fraction of the current day, the sidereal time at Greenwich, and the adjusted
sidereal time for the querent's longitude and latitude, respectively.<br /><br />

NOTES:
This tag works in all mail clients, though <i> should probably be used instead.
This tag is not used often, probably because it is easy to confuse with the common programming keyword var.
