Using var in HTML

The <var> tag represents HTML variables in the text. You must include both starting and ending tags:

<p>Einstein's best known equation goes like this:
<var>E</var> = <var>mc</var><sup>2</sup></p>

This tag is used in similar context as <code>, <samp> and <kbd>.

Note: if you need italicized font in other contexts and not for HTML variables, use <i> or <em> tags.
