uicontrol

The user interface control (<uicontrol>) element is used to mark up names of buttons, entry fields, menu items, or other objects that allow the user to control the interface. Use the <uicontrol> element inside a <menucascade> element to identify a sequence of menu choices in a nested menu, such as File > New. This element is part of the DITA user interface domain, a special set of DITA elements designed to document user interface tasks, concepts and reference information.
