Display text as a defining instance of a term


Used to mark the defining instance of a term. Whatever that means - I'll have to do some digging because all I've got now is my imagination about why you would use this. But if you do this is how it's done.

	<html>
	<head>
	<title>Some defining terms</title>
	</head>
	<body>
	   .
	   .
==>>	<dfn>cpu (central processing unit)</dfn>
	   .
	   .
	</body>
	</html>
