uicontrol

Indicates the names of elements in a user interface.

For example, use the <uicontrol> element to identify buttons, entry fields, menu items, or other objects that allow the user to control the interface. The <uicontrol> element is also used inside the <menucascade> element to identify a sequence of menu choices in a nested menu, such as File > New.

In the output, all text you enter in the <uicontrol> element is displayed in bold text.

ul

Provides an unordered list. Items in an unordered list are bulleted. The sequence or order of importance of an unordered list is not significant.

The <ul> element must contain one or more <li> elements.

Do not include lists within the paragraph element for the preceding paragraph. Make sure that you insert any unordered lists after the closing tag.

userinput

Indicates the text a user must input or keys the user must press. For example, use the <userinput> element to identify user-entered text in a UI or a command-line interface. This includes when you are specifying a range of entries.

In the output, all text you enter in the <userinput> element is displayed in a monospaced font.

Tag any code that you are presenting as an example and are not instructing the user to enter with the <codeblock> or <codeph> element instead of <userinput>.
