Typewriter text is a fixed width text with the old fashioned typewriter looking font.
It's a useful method of drawing the eye to a particular word or phrase; possibly a hyperlink in a section of text.

If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
