# markdown-it-kbd [](https://travis-ci.org/jGleitz/markdown-it-kbd) [](https://badge.fury.io/js/markdown-it-kbd) [](https://badge.fury.io/bo/markdown-it-kbd) > [markdown-it](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it) plugin for keystrokes Renders `[[x]]` as `<kbd>x</kbd>`. ([`<kbd>`](http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_kbd.asp) is the tag for keystrokes). ## Usage ```js const md = require('markdown-it')(); const kbd = require('markdown-it-kbd'); md.use(kbd); ``` This plugin can also be used together with [`markdown-it-attrs`](https://github.com/arve0/markdown-it-attrs/). ## Syntax notes The end tag `]]` must be on the same line as the start tag `[[`. The characters “`[`” and “`]`” are not allowed within keystroke tags. If you need to use them, escape them with a backslash (i.e. `\[` or `\]`) or use HTML escape sequences (`[` for `[` or `]` for `]`).
