How to have origin check game download files

Message 1 of 45 , Views. Reply Accepted Solution. Re: all my games are stuck in preparing download [ Edited ]. Cancel the download 2. Exit Origin 3. Right click on the Origin Shortcut on your desktop or where ever you have the software installed 4. Click on Run As Administrator 5. Resume the download and after origin verifies the game files it will just say resuming for a long time you will find the game will instantly skip to the installing stage EDIT: if your download is stuck and no folder was created go to the folder in step 1 and create the folder eg Medal of Honor Pacific Assault origin doesn't add special characters to there folder names so any special characters in game names are spaces and any existing spaces are spaces in the folder name the only exception i have found to that is need for speed the folder name is Need for Speed TM Most Wanted with the trademark TM in brackets so if you have the problem with that game there is the folder name you create and them start the download and then follow steps above View in thread.

Origin stuck on "resuming download" on titanfall. Can't update BF4 now. June On several occasions I have opened Origin to find Titanfall is stuck on "resuming download", I am unable to cancel this. Message 4 of 45 99, Views. Reply 4. Re: Origin stuck on "resuming download" on titanfall.

Can't update BF4. Message 5 of 45 , Views. March My problem with a game stuck in 'Preparing Download' is that it is not creating the game folder in Program Files x86 so there is nothing to rename, it has been an hour and a half and it is stuck not creating a folder and not knowing what to call it other than Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault.

In the following example, we see a sidebar from the same article. This sidebar also has small print, indicating the source of the information in the sidebar.

In this last example, the small element is marked as being important small print. HTML element renders text with a strikethrough, or a line through it. Use the element to represent things that are no longer relevant or no longer accurate. However, is not appropriate when indicating document edits; for that, use the and elements, as appropriate.

The s element represents contents that are no longer accurate or no longer relevant. The s element is not appropriate when indicating document edits; to mark a span of text as having been removed from a document, use the del element. In this example a recommended retail price has been marked as no longer relevant as the product in question has a new sale price. HTML element is used to describe a reference to a cited creative work, and must include the title of that work. The reference may be in an abbreviated form according to context-appropriate conventions related to citation metadata.

The cite element represents the title of a work e. This can be a work that is being quoted or referenced in detail i. A person's name is not the title of a work — even if people call that person a piece of work — and the element must therefore not be used to mark up people's names. In some cases, the b element might be appropriate for names; e. In other cases, if an element is really needed, the span element can be used. This next example shows a typical use of the cite element:.

The following, however, is incorrect usage, as the cite element here is containing far more than the title of the work:. The cite element is obviously a key part of any citation in a bibliography, but it is only used to mark the title:. A citation is not a quote for which the q element is appropriate. This is incorrect usage, because cite is not for quotes:. The correct usage does not use a cite element:. As mentioned above, the b element might be relevant for marking names as being keywords in certain kinds of documents:.

HTML element indicates that the enclosed text is a short inline quotation. Most modern browsers implement this by surrounding the text in quotation marks. This element is intended for short quotations that don't require paragraph breaks; for long quotations use the element.

Content attributes : Global attributes cite — Link to the source of the quotation or more information about the edit Accessibility considerations : For authors. The q element represents some phrasing content quoted from another source. Quotation punctuation such as quotation marks that is quoting the contents of the element must not appear immediately before, after, or inside q elements; they will be inserted into the rendering by the user agent.

Content inside a q element must be quoted from another source, whose address, if it has one, may be cited in the cite attribute. The source may be fictional, as when quoting characters in a novel or screenplay. If the cite attribute is present, it must be a valid URL potentially surrounded by spaces.

To obtain the corresponding citation link, the value of the attribute must be parsed relative to the element's node document. User agents may allow users to follow such citation links, but they are primarily intended for private use e. The q element must not be used in place of quotation marks that do not represent quotes; for example, it is inappropriate to use the q element for marking up sarcastic statements. The use of q elements to mark up quotations is entirely optional; using explicit quotation punctuation without q elements is just as correct.

Here is a simple example of the use of the q element:. Here is an example with both an explicit citation link in the q element, and an explicit citation outside:. In the following example, quotation marks are used instead of the q element:. In the following example, there is no quote — the quotation marks are used to name a word. Use of the q element in this case would be inappropriate. HTML element is used to indicate the term being defined within the context of a definition phrase or sentence.

Content model : Phrasing content , but there must be no dfn element descendants. Content attributes : Global attributes Also, the title attribute has special semantics on this element: Full term or expansion of abbreviation. Accessibility considerations : For authors.

The dfn element represents the defining instance of a term. The paragraph , description list group , or section that is the nearest ancestor of the dfn element must also contain the definition s for the term given by the dfn element. Defining term : if the dfn element has a title attribute, then the exact value of that attribute is the term being defined. Otherwise, if it contains exactly one element child node and no child Text nodes, and that child element is an abbr element with a title attribute, then the exact value of that attribute is the term being defined.

Otherwise, it is the descendant text content of the dfn element that gives the term being defined. If the title attribute of the dfn element is present, then it must contain only the term being defined. The title attribute of ancestor elements does not affect dfn elements. An a element that links to a dfn element represents an instance of the term defined by the dfn element.

In the following fragment, the term "Garage Door Opener" is first defined in the first paragraph, then used in the second. In both cases, its abbreviation is what is actually displayed. With the addition of an a element, the reference can be made explicit:. HTML element represents an abbreviation or acronym; the optional title attribute can provide an expansion or description for the abbreviation.

If present, title must contain this full description and nothing else. The abbr element represents an abbreviation or acronym, optionally with its expansion. The title attribute may be used to provide an expansion of the abbreviation. The attribute, if specified, must contain an expansion of the abbreviation, and nothing else. The paragraph below contains an abbreviation marked up with the abbr element. This paragraph has two abbreviations. Notice how only one is defined; the other, with no expansion associated with it, does not use the abbr element.

This paragraph marks up an abbreviation without giving an expansion, possibly as a hook to apply styles for abbreviations e. If an abbreviation is pluralized, the expansion's grammatical number plural vs singular must match the grammatical number of the contents of the element. Abbreviations do not have to be marked up using this element. It is expected to be useful in the following cases:. Providing an expansion in a title attribute once will not necessarily cause other abbr elements in the same document with the same contents but without a title attribute to behave as if they had the same expansion.

Every abbr element is independent. HTML element represents small annotations that are rendered above, below, or next to base text, usually used for showing the pronunciation of East Asian characters. It can also be used for annotating other kinds of text, but this usage is less common.

Content model : See prose. The ruby element allows one or more spans of phrasing content to be marked with ruby annotations. Ruby annotations are short runs of text presented alongside base text, primarily used in East Asian typography as a guide for pronunciation or to include other annotations. In Japanese, this form of typography is also known as furigana. The content model of ruby elements consists of one or more of the following sequences:.

The ruby and rt elements can be used for a variety of kinds of annotations, including in particular though by no means limited to those described below. It is hoped that CSS will be extended to support the styles described below in due course. One or more hiragana or katakana characters the ruby annotation are placed with each ideographic character the base text.

This is used to provide readings of kanji characters. The difference is that the base text segments form a compound word rather than being separate from each other.

In this example, each compound word jukugo corresponds to a single ruby element. The rendering here is expected to be that each annotation be placed over or next to, in vertical text the corresponding base character, with the annotations not overhanging any of the adjacent characters. This is the same example as above for mono-ruby for compound words. The different rendering is expected to be achieved using different styling e. The annotation describes the meaning of the base text, rather than or in addition to the pronunciation.

As such, both the base text and the annotation can be multiple characters long. In English, the words "Colonel" and "Lieutenant" are examples of words where a direct mapping of pronunciation to individual letters is, in some dialects, rather unclear. If this results in two annotations covering the same single base segment, then the annotations can just be placed back to back. The annotation on the nested ruby element gives a mono-ruby phonetic annotation for each base character, while the annotation in the rt element that is a child of the outer ruby element gives the meaning using hiragana.

Ignored segments do not form part of the document's semantics they consist of some inter-element whitespace and rp elements, the latter of which are used for legacy user agents that do not support ruby at all. Base text segments can overlap with a limit of two segments overlapping any one position in the DOM, and with any segment having an earlier start point than an overlapping segment also having an equal or later end point, and any segment have a later end point than an overlapping segment also having an equal or earlier start point.

Annotation segments correspond to rt elements. Each annotation segment can be associated with a base text segment, and each base text segment can have annotation segments associated with it.

In a conforming document, each base text segment is associated with at least one annotation segment, and each annotation segment is associated with one base text segment. A ruby element represents the union of the segments of base text it contains, along with the mapping from those base text segments to annotation segments. Segments are described in terms of DOM ranges; annotation segment ranges always consist of exactly one element.

At any particular time, the segmentation and categorization of content of a ruby element is the result that would be obtained from running the following algorithm:. Let base text segments be an empty list of base text segments, each potentially with a list of base text subsegments.

Let annotation segments be an empty list of annotation segments, each potentially being associated with a base text segment or subsegment. Let root be the ruby element for which the algorithm is being run. If root has a ruby element ancestor, then jump to the step labeled end. Let current parent be root. Let index be 0. Let start index be null. Let parent start index be null. Let current base text be null. Start mode : If index is equal to or greater than the number of child nodes in current parent , then jump to the step labeled end mode.

If the index th node in current parent is an rt or rp element, jump to the step labeled annotation mode. Set start index to the value of index. Base mode : If the index th node in current parent is a ruby element, and if current parent is the same element as root , then push a ruby level and then jump to the step labeled start mode. If the index th node in current parent is an rt or rp element, then set the current base text and then jump to the step labeled annotation mode.

Increment index by one. Base mode post-increment : If index is equal to or greater than the number of child nodes in current parent , then jump to the step labeled end mode.

Jump back to the step labeled base mode. Annotation mode : If the index th node in current parent is an rt element, then push a ruby annotation and jump to the step labeled annotation mode increment. If the index th node in current parent is an rp element, jump to the step labeled annotation mode increment.

If the index th node in current parent is not a Text node, or is a Text node that is not inter-element whitespace , then jump to the step labeled base mode. Annotation mode increment : Let lookahead index be index plus one. Annotation mode white-space skipper : If lookahead index is equal to the number of child nodes in current parent then jump to the step labeled end mode.

If the lookahead index th node in current parent is an rt element or an rp element, then set index to lookahead index and jump to the step labeled annotation mode. If the lookahead index th node in current parent is not a Text node, or is a Text node that is not inter-element whitespace , then jump to the step labeled base mode without further incrementing index , so the inter-element whitespace seen so far becomes part of the next base text segment.

Increment lookahead index by one. Jump to the step labeled annotation mode white-space skipper. End mode : If current parent is not the same element as root , then pop a ruby level and jump to the step labeled base mode post-increment. End : Return base text segments and annotation segments. Any content of the ruby element not described by segments in either of those lists is implicitly in an ignored segment.

When the steps above say to set the current base text , it means to run the following steps at that point in the algorithm:. Let text range be a DOM range whose start is the boundary point current parent , start index and whose end is the boundary point current parent , index. Let new text segment be a base text segment described by the range annotation range.

Add new text segment to base text segments. Let current base text be new text segment. When the steps above say to push a ruby level , it means to run the following steps at that point in the algorithm:. Let current parent be the index th node in current parent.

Set saved start index to the value of start index. When the steps above say to pop a ruby level , it means to run the following steps at that point in the algorithm:.

Let index be the position of current parent in root. Set start index to the value of saved start index. Let saved start index be null. When the steps above say to push a ruby annotation , it means to run the following steps at that point in the algorithm:.

Let rt be the rt element that is the index th node of current parent. Let annotation range be a DOM range whose start is the boundary point current parent , index and whose end is the boundary point current parent , index plus one i. Let new annotation segment be an annotation segment described by the range annotation range.

If current base text is not null, associate new annotation segment with current base text. Add new annotation segment to annotation segments. In this more contrived example, the acronym "HTML" has four annotations: one for the whole acronym, briefly describing what it is, one for the letters "HT" expanding them to "Hypertext", one for the letter "M" expanding it to "Markup", and one for the letter "L" expanding it to "Language".

HTML element specifies the ruby text component of a ruby annotation, which is used to provide pronunciation, translation, or transliteration information for East Asian typography. The element must always be contained within a element. Contexts in which this element can be used : As a child of a ruby element. The rt element marks the ruby text component of a ruby annotation.

When it is the child of a ruby element, it doesn't represent anything itself, but the ruby element uses it as part of determining what it represents. An rt element that is not a child of a ruby element represents the same thing as its children. HTML element is used to provide fall-back parentheses for browsers that do not support display of ruby annotations using the element. One element should enclose each of the opening and closing parentheses that wrap the element that contains the annotation's text.

Contexts in which this element can be used : As a child of a ruby element, either immediately before or immediately after an rt element. Content model : Text.

The rp element can be used to provide parentheses or other content around a ruby text component of a ruby annotation, to be shown by user agents that don't support ruby annotations.

An rp element that is a child of a ruby element represents nothing. An rp element whose parent element is not a ruby element represents its children. In conforming user agents the rendering would be as above, but in user agents that do not support ruby, the rendering would be:.

When there are multiple annotations for a segment, rp elements can also be placed between the annotations. If the content is time- or date-related, the element must be used. Content attributes : Global attributes value — Machine-readable value Accessibility considerations : For authors.

The value attribute must be present. Its value must be a representation of the element's contents in a machine-readable format. When the value is date- or time-related, the more specific time element can be used instead.

When combined with microformats or the microdata attributes defined in this specification, the element serves to provide both a machine-readable value for the purposes of data processors, and a human-readable value for the purposes of rendering in a web browser. In this case, the format to be used in the value attribute is determined by the microformats or microdata vocabulary in use.

The element can also, however, be used in conjunction with scripts in the page, for when a script has a literal value to store alongside a human-readable value. In such cases, the format to be used depends only on the needs of the script.

Here, a short table has its numeric values encoded using the data element so that the table sorting JavaScript library can provide a sorting mechanism on each column despite the numbers being presented in textual form in one column and in a decomposed form in another. HTML element represents a specific period in time.

It may include the datetime attribute to translate dates into machine-readable format, allowing for better search engine results or custom features such as reminders. Content model : If the element has a datetime attribute: Phrasing content. Otherwise: Text , but must match requirements described in prose below. Content attributes : Global attributes datetime — Machine-readable value Accessibility considerations : For authors. The kind of content is limited to various kinds of dates, times, time-zone offsets, and durations, as described below.

The datetime attribute may be present. If present, its value must be a representation of the element's contents in a machine-readable format. A time element that does not have a datetime content attribute must not have any element descendants.

The datetime value of a time element is the value of the element's datetime content attribute, if it has one, otherwise the child text content of the time element. The datetime value of a time element must match one of the following syntaxes. Times with dates but without a time zone offset are useful for specifying events that are observed at the same specific time in each time zone, throughout a day. For example, the new year is celebrated at in each time zone, not at the same precise moment across all time zones.

For events that occur at the same time across all time zones, for example a videoconference meeting, a valid global date and time string is likely more useful. For times without dates or times referring to events that recur on multiple dates , specifying the geographic location that controls the time is usually more useful than specifying a time zone offset, because geographic locations change time zone offsets with daylight saving time.

In some cases, geographic locations even change time zone, e. There exists a time zone database that describes the boundaries of time zones and what rules apply within each such zone, known as the time zone database. Times with dates and a time zone offset are useful for specifying specific events, or recurring virtual events where the time is not anchored to a specific geographic location.

For example, the precise time of an asteroid impact, or a particular meeting in a series of meetings held at UTC every day, regardless of whether any particular part of the world is observing daylight saving time or not. For events where the precise time varies by the local time zone offset of a specific geographic location, a valid local date and time string combined with that geographic location is likely more useful.

The machine-readable equivalent of the element's contents must be obtained from the element's datetime value by using the following algorithm:. If parsing a month string from the element's datetime value returns a month , that is the machine-readable equivalent; return.

If parsing a date string from the element's datetime value returns a date , that is the machine-readable equivalent; return. If parsing a yearless date string from the element's datetime value returns a yearless date , that is the machine-readable equivalent; return. If parsing a time string from the element's datetime value returns a time , that is the machine-readable equivalent; return. If parsing a local date and time string from the element's datetime value returns a local date and time , that is the machine-readable equivalent; return.

If parsing a time-zone offset string from the element's datetime value returns a time-zone offset , that is the machine-readable equivalent; return. If parsing a global date and time string from the element's datetime value returns a global date and time , that is the machine-readable equivalent; return. If parsing a week string from the element's datetime value returns a week , that is the machine-readable equivalent; return.

If parsing a duration string from the element's datetime value returns a duration , that is the machine-readable equivalent; return. There is no machine-readable equivalent.

The algorithms referenced above are intended to be designed such that for any arbitrary string s , only one of the algorithms returns a value. A more efficient approach might be to create a single algorithm that parses all these data types in one pass; developing such an algorithm is left as an exercise to the reader.

The time element can be used to encode dates, for example in microformats. The following shows a hypothetical way of encoding an event using a variant on hCalendar that uses the time element:. Here, a fictional microdata vocabulary based on the Atom vocabulary is used with the time element to mark up a blog post's publication date.

In this example, another article's publication date is marked up using time , this time using the schema. In the following snippet, the time element is used to encode a date in the ISO format, for later processing by a script:. A script loaded by the page and thus privy to the page's internal convention of marking up dates and times using the time element could scan through the page and look at all the time elements therein to create an index of dates and times. For example, this element conveys the string "Friday" with the additional semantic that the 18th of November is the meaning that corresponds to "Friday":.

HTML element displays its contents styled in a fashion intended to indicate that the text is a short fragment of computer code. By default, the content text is displayed using the user agent's default monospace font.

The code element represents a fragment of computer code. This could be an XML element name, a filename, a computer program, or any other string that a computer would recognize. There is no formal way to indicate the language of computer code being marked up. Authors who wish to mark code elements with the language used, e.

The following example shows how the element can be used in a paragraph to mark up element names and computer code, including punctuation. The following example shows how a block of code could be marked up using the pre and code elements. See the pre element for more details.

HTML element represents the name of a variable in a mathematical expression or a programming context. It's typically presented using an italicized version of the current typeface, although that behavior is browser-dependent.

The var element represents a variable. This could be an actual variable in a mathematical expression or programming context, an identifier representing a constant, a symbol identifying a physical quantity, a function parameter, or just be a term used as a placeholder in prose.

For mathematics, in particular for anything beyond the simplest of expressions, MathML is more appropriate. However, the var element can still be used to refer to specific variables that are then mentioned in MathML expressions. In this example, an equation is shown, with a legend that references the variables in the equation. The expression itself is marked up with MathML, but the variables are mentioned in the figure's legend using var. Here, the equation describing mass-energy equivalence is used in a sentence, and the var element is used to mark the variables and constants in that equation:.

HTML element is used to enclose inline text which represents sample or quoted output from a computer program. Its contents are typically rendered using the browser's default monospaced font such as Courier or Lucida Console.

The samp element represents sample or quoted output from another program or computing system. See the pre and kbd elements for more details. This element can be contrasted with the output element, which can be used to provide immediate output in a web application. This example shows the samp element being used inline:. This second example shows a block of sample output from a console program. Nested samp and kbd elements allow for the styling of specific elements of the sample output using a style sheet.

There's also a few parts of the samp that are annotated with even more detailed markup, to enable very precise styling. To achieve this, span elements are used. This third example shows a block of input and its respective output. The example uses both code and samp elements. HTML element represents a span of inline text denoting textual user input from a keyboard, voice input, or any other text entry device.

By convention, the user agent defaults to rendering the contents of a element using its default monospace font, although this is not mandated by the HTML standard. The kbd element represents user input typically keyboard input, although it may also be used to represent other input, such as voice commands. When the kbd element is nested inside a samp element, it represents the input as it was echoed by the system. When the kbd element contains a samp element, it represents input based on system output, for example invoking a menu item.

When the kbd element is nested inside another kbd element, it represents an actual key or other single unit of input as appropriate for the input mechanism. Here the kbd element is used to indicate keys to press:. In this second example, the user is told to pick a particular menu item.

The outer kbd element marks up a block of input, with the inner kbd elements representing each individual step of the input, and the samp elements inside them indicating that the steps are input based on something being displayed by the system, in this case menu labels:. HTML element specifies inline text which should be displayed as subscript for solely typographical reasons. Subscripts are typically rendered with a lowered baseline using smaller text.

Superscripts are usually rendered with a raised baseline using smaller text. Content attributes : Global attributes Accessibility considerations : The sub element: for authors ; for implementers.

The sup element: for authors ; for implementers. The sup element represents a superscript and the sub element represents a subscript. These elements must be used only to mark up typographical conventions with specific meanings, not for typographical presentation for presentation's sake. For example, it would be inappropriate for the sub and sup elements to be used in the name of the LaTeX document preparation system. In general, authors should use these elements only if the absence of those elements would change the meaning of the content.

In certain languages, superscripts are part of the typographical conventions for some abbreviations. The sub element can be used inside a var element, for variables that have subscripts. Here, the sub element is used to represent the subscript that identifies the variable in a family of variables:. Mathematical expressions often use subscripts and superscripts.

Authors are encouraged to use MathML for marking up mathematics, but authors may opt to use sub and sup if detailed mathematical markup is not desired. HTML element represents a range of text that is set off from the normal text for some reason, such as idiomatic text, technical terms, taxonomical designations, among others.

Historically, these have been presented using italicized type, which is the original source of the naming of this element. The i element represents a span of text in an alternate voice or mood, or otherwise offset from the normal prose in a manner indicating a different quality of text, such as a taxonomic designation, a technical term, an idiomatic phrase from another language, transliteration, a thought, or a ship name in Western texts. Terms in languages different from the main text should be annotated with lang attributes or, in XML, lang attributes in the XML namespace.

The examples below show uses of the i element:. In the following example, a dream sequence is marked up using i elements. Authors can use the class attribute on the i element to identify why the element is being used, so that if the style of a particular use e. Authors are encouraged to consider whether other elements might be more applicable than the i element, for instance the em element for marking up stress emphasis, or the dfn element to mark up the defining instance of a term.

Style sheets can be used to format i elements, just like any other element can be restyled. Thus, it is not the case that content in i elements will necessarily be italicized. HTML element is used to draw the reader's attention to the element's contents, which are not otherwise granted special importance. This was formerly known as the Boldface element, and most browsers still draw the text in boldface. However, you should not use for styling text; instead, you should use the CSS font-weight property to create boldface text, or the element to indicate that text is of special importance.

The b element represents a span of text to which attention is being drawn for utilitarian purposes without conveying any extra importance and with no implication of an alternate voice or mood, such as key words in a document abstract, product names in a review, actionable words in interactive text-driven software, or an article lede. The following example shows a use of the b element to highlight key words without marking them up as important:.

In the following example, objects in a text adventure are highlighted as being special by use of the b element. Another case where the b element is appropriate is in marking up the lede or lead sentence or paragraph.

The following example shows how a BBC article about kittens adopting a rabbit as their own could be marked up:. As with the i element, authors can use the class attribute on the b element to identify why the element is being used, so that if the style of a particular use is to be changed at a later date, the author doesn't have to go through annotating each use.

The b element should be used as a last resort when no other element is more appropriate. In particular, headings should use the h1 to h6 elements, stress emphasis should use the em element, importance should be denoted with the strong element, and text marked or highlighted should use the mark element.

In the previous example, the correct element to use would have been strong , not b. Style sheets can be used to format b elements, just like any other element can be restyled. Thus, it is not the case that content in b elements will necessarily be boldened. HTML element represents a span of inline text which should be rendered in a way that indicates that it has a non-textual annotation.

This is rendered by default as a simple solid underline, but may be altered using CSS. The u element represents a span of text with an unarticulated, though explicitly rendered, non-textual annotation, such as labeling the text as being a proper name in Chinese text a Chinese proper name mark , or labeling the text as being misspelt.

In most cases, another element is likely to be more appropriate: for marking stress emphasis, the em element should be used; for marking key words or phrases either the b element or the mark element should be used, depending on the context; for marking book titles, the cite element should be used; for labeling text with explicit textual annotations, the ruby element should be used; for technical terms, taxonomic designation, transliteration, a thought, or for labeling ship names in Western texts, the i element should be used.

The default rendering of the u element in visual presentations clashes with the conventional rendering of hyperlinks underlining.

Authors are encouraged to avoid using the u element where it could be confused for a hyperlink. In this example, a u element is used to mark a word as misspelt:.

HTML element represents text which is marked or highlighted for reference or notation purposes, due to the marked passage's relevance or importance in the enclosing context. The mark element represents a run of text in one document marked or highlighted for reference purposes, due to its relevance in another context.

When used in a quotation or other block of text referred to from the prose, it indicates a highlight that was not originally present but which has been added to bring the reader's attention to a part of the text that might not have been considered important by the original author when the block was originally written, but which is now under previously unexpected scrutiny.

When used in the main prose of a document, it indicates a part of the document that has been highlighted due to its likely relevance to the user's current activity. This example shows how the mark element can be used to bring attention to a particular part of a quotation:.

If the goal was to mark the element as misspelt, however, the u element, possibly with a class, would be more appropriate. Another example of the mark element is highlighting parts of a document that are matching some search string. If someone looked at a document, and the server knew that the user was searching for the word "kitten", then the server might return the document with one paragraph modified as follows:.

This is separate from syntax highlighting , for which span is more appropriate. Combining both, one would get:. This is another example showing the use of mark to highlight a part of quoted text that was originally not emphasized.

In this example, common typographic conventions have led the author to explicitly style mark elements in quotes to render in italics. Note, incidentally, the distinction between the em element in this example, which is part of the original text being quoted, and the mark element, which is highlighting a part for comment.
