<p>I think he's asking about how to do keyboard formatting on SF, which can be done with the kbd tag.  For example:</p>

<p><code>&lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;E&lt;/kbd&gt;</code></p>

<p>Should render as:</p>

<p><kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>E</kbd></p>

<p>Well, I see it doesn't work here on meta.SF, which might be a glitch.  <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/26207/how-can-i-format-as-keyboard-keys">This question on meta.SO</a> refers to the kbd tag being disabled on meta (I think people were drawing pictures of castles with it), so maybe it's disabled on all the meta sites.</p>
