On blogs and Internet discussion forums, when participants use the SGML-style tags popularized by HTML (or sometimes UsefulNotes/BBCode-style tags) to accentuate their messages.
For example [[SarcasmMode <sarcasm>...</sarcasm>]], [[TheRant <rant>...</rant>]], and [[CoughSnarkCough <cough>...</cough>]].
Sometimes these tags can include attributes such as <flame tone="angry">...</flame>.
Oftentimes the opening tag will be omitted and only the closing tag will be there, as a kind of self-conscious [[LampshadeHanging lampshade hung]] on the preceding flame/rant/etc. It is also used to show that a sarcastic rant mocking the opposite side of some debate is just that. Everyone KNOWS that first person is good wiki syntax, after all. </[[DarthWiki/ThatTroper thattroper]]>
Can also be used in [[ImageMacro image macros]]. Note that not all edited photos are image macros: Some humorous pictures are seen on the 'Net, such as a man with "</head> <body>" tatooed on his neck or a tombstone with "</life>".
Anti-war candidate Darcy Burner wore a T-shirt with </WAR> on it in several photos.
</unsubscribe> is occasionally used on Usenet to indicate that one is unsubscribing from a thread. However, the proper use should be either </subscribe> (to indicate that the subscription is ending) or <unsubscribe /> (XML empty tag to indicate an unsubscription). It probably means, though, that the person has just finished the process of unsubscribing. <[[Administrivia/JustifyingEdit /justifyingedit]]>
This used to be done with faux C preprocessor directives, e.g.:
---> #ifdef FLAME
---> [[FlameWar flame flame flame]]
---> #endif
Or, on occasion, by (t)csh environment variables:
---> setenv PRETENTIOUS ON
but that usage has largely been supplanted by more-approachable HTML.
The successor phenomena is HashtagForLaughs
!!Examples:
* In the T.V show, ''Series/{{MythBusters}}'', Adam sometimes where's a T-shirt that says "<Mythbuster>Am I missing an eyebrow?</Mythbuster>".
* In ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' Dendy changes the color of her headband from #0090FF (a slightly greenish blue) to K.O.'s #[=FF0000=] (red).
* How Ideasman defeats Hellvetica in ''Webcomic/ParticleFiction''.
* Seen in the blog of ''Literature/BToTheFTheNovelizationOfTheFeatureFilm'', When Ryan [[http://btothef.tumblr.com/post/23940972532/let-me-summarize-the-fight-scene-for-you describes]] the brief scuffle between Marty and Biff in Lou's Cafe after George's attempt to ask Lorraine out.
* In ''Series/{{Scorpion}}'', The show's title is stylized as '''</scorpion>''' To a programmer, that would read as "End Scorpion".
* In [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/3faces/banu.htm one]] ''Webcomic/TheHeroOfThreeFaces'' strip, the [[Series/DoctorWho Twelfth Doctor]] responds to being told that a space station crew is having food transmatted into their bodies for efficiency with "Oh, well. Sarcasm tag, that stuff never goes wrong, close sarcasm tag."
