Conclusion

The <tt> tag, previously used to present monospaced text, is now obsolete. Modern replacements include <code> for inline code, <pre> for preformatted text, or CSS properties like font-family: monospace. These alternatives provide better semantic meaning and accessibility. It is recommended to avoid using <tt> and instead utilize these modern methods for displaying monospaced text.

<time>

The HTML <time> element indicates a specific date or time, enabling semantic markup for date and time values that browsers and search engines can utilize for improved data interpretation.

<u>

The HTML <u> element underlines text, used to highlight or distinguish it. However, CSS is now commonly used for this styling purpose instead.
