HTML’s Best Kept Secret: The output Tag
(denodell.com)
htmls best kept secret; the marquee tag
Less "best kept secret" more "not very useful so nobody cared to learn about it".
Nearly every web app that uses an input calculates and displays some result based on those inputs. It's clearly useful.
If you prefer reading instead of watching:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/output
What do you mean by "instead of watching"? OP links to a text article.
I still prefer your MDN link though. Concise, and a more readable layout. Dunno why OP felt the need to increase the font size that much into a wide layout.
I have no idea why I thought it was a video.
I've been writing HTML since like '98 and am just learning about this tag now.
