How do you show the Keyboard \*symbols\* on my own confluence pages?

Like the nice ones shown here: <https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/ViewKeyboardShortcuts!default.jspa>

I'm a relative newbie on Confluence editing, and have given this a go.

On editing my Confluence page, I proceeded to...

1. INSERT --\>Other Macros --\> search for 'CSS' --\> Select 'CSS Stylesheet'
2. Pasted in your text as above into the CSS Stylesheet that appeared
3. INSERT --\>Other Macros --\> search for 'HMTL' --\> found some suitable results and tried selecting 'HMTL comment
4. Pasted in '\<kbd\>\<kbd\>K\</kbd\>\</kbd\>' into the HTML Comment that appeared
5. Save the page  

   <br />

   Result = Nothing new appears on the page.

Am i doing the wrong thing?

How does one 'edit the look and feel' please?

Thanks for your help

body: First off, you need to use the HTML and exactly the HTML macro. The HTML macro is disabled by default and has to be manually enabled:

Look and Feel changes can be done both Space specifically or site wide:

Space: **Space tools** --\> **Look and Feel** --\> **Stylesheet**

body: This is done with a combination of CSS and HTML.

Start with a CSS macro (or edit the Look and Feel):

```
kbd &gt; kbd {  box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.2);  border-radius: 3px;  padding: .1em .7em;  border: 1px solid #ccc;  font-family: Arial, sans-serif;  background-color: ;  display: inline-block;  margin: 0 .1em;  white-space: nowrap;  font-size: 1em;}
```

Then wrap the key letters and words in HTML:

```
&lt;kbd&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;&lt;/kbd&gt;
```

This will give the same look:
