VAR is used to mark up variables, for example in discussions of computer programs. Using this tag allows programs to automatically generate lists of the used variables. Example: "The variable <VAR>c</VAR> is used as a counter in this program."

Notes:

VAR will usually be rendered in a monospaced font, but multiple spaces are collapsed, unlike in PRE. This can screw up the spacing in your VAR if you want to provide more than one line.
