<sans-serif> Sans Serif
Used to mark text that should appear in a sans-serif font.
Usage/Remarks
Ensuring that a text component remains in a sans-serif font is typically used when
marking mathematics (a mathematical equation, expression, or formula) or chemistry
(a chemical expression, reaction, or equation).
Using the Toggle Switch with Sans Serif
The @toggle attribute can control the behavior of the <sans-serif> element. For example, setting
the @toggle attribute to “no” would mean that material marked as being in a sans-serif font will always be sans-serif,
even in a context that is styled in sans-serif. In contrast, if the @toggle attribute is set to “yes” on an <sans-serif> element, then if the formatting context imposes a sans-serif font (whether due to
another <sans-serif> element, a stylesheet, some CSS, or other means), then the
sans-serif would be turned off within that context, making the emphasized text emphasized
by contrast (typographically distinct from its surroundings) but not necessarily in
a sans-serif font.
