<var>: The Variable element

The <var> HTML element represents the name of a variable in a mathematical expression or a programming context. It's typically presented using an italicized version of the current typeface, although that behavior is browser-dependent.

Attributes

Usage notes

Other elements that are used in contexts in which <var> is commonly used include:

If you encounter code that is mistakenly using <var> for style purposes rather than semantic purposes, you should either use a <span> with appropriate CSS or, an appropriate semantic element among the following:

-
-

Default style

-
-

Most browsers apply font-style to "italic" when rendering <var>. This can be overridden in CSS, like this:

-

css

-
var {
-  font-style: normal;
-}
-
-
-
-

Examples

Basic example

-
-

-

-
<p>A simple equation: <var>x</var> = <var>y</var> + 2</p>

Overriding the default style

-
-

Using CSS, you can override the default style for the <var> element. In this example, variable names are rendered using bold Courier if it's available, otherwise it falls back to the default monospace font.

CSS

-

css

-
var {
-  font:
-    bold 15px "Courier",
-    "Courier New",
-    monospace;
-}
-
-

HTML

-

html

-
<p>
-  The variables <var>minSpeed</var> and <var>maxSpeed</var> control the minimum
-  and maximum speed of the apparatus in revolutions per minute (RPM).
-</p>
-
-

This HTML uses <var> to enclose the names of two variables.
