<p><span class="seoSummary">The <strong>HTML Command element</strong> (<strong><code><command></code></strong>) represents a command which the user can invoke. Commands are often used as part of a context menu or toolbar.</span> However, they can be used anywhere on the page.</p>
<div class="note">
<p>The <code><command></code> element is included in the W3C specification, but not in the WHATWG specification, and browser support is nonexistent. You should use the {{HTMLElement("menuitem")}} element instead, although that element is non-standard and only supported in Edge and Firefox.</p>
