HTML: <ins> tag

The HTML <ins> tag is used to insert new text into the document that has been inserted, to display the history of document changes. The text found in the <ins> tag is usually presented as underlined text by the browser. You can use the accompanying <del> tag to mark text that has been deleted from the document but retained to display the history of document changes. This tag is also commonly referred to as the <ins> element.
