Name

ins — HTML 4.01 | HTML5

Synopsis

<ins> . . . </ins>

Indicates text that has been inserted into the document. It may be useful for legal documents and any instance in which edits need to be tracked. Its counterpart is deleted text (del). The ins element may indicate either inline or block-level elements; however, when used as an inline element (as within a p), it may not insert block-level elements because that would violate nesting rules.
