<command>

안씀

This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.

The HTML Command element (<command>) represents a command which the user can invoke. Commands are often used as part of a context menu or toolbar. However, they can be used anywhere on the page.

The <command> element is included in the W3C specification, but not in the WHATWG specification, and browser support is nonexistent. You should use the <menuitem> element instead, although that element is non-standard and only supported in Edge and Firefox.

Content categories Flow content, phrasing content, metadata content.
Permitted content None, it is an empty element.
Tag omission The start tag is mandatory, but, as it is a void element, the use of an end tag is forbidden.
Permitted parent elements <colgroup> only, though it can be implicitly defined as its start tag is not mandatory. The <colgroup> must not have a <span> as child.
