Italic and Emphasis
Just like bold, another widespread semantic alteration is the use of italicized text. Text can be marked up as italicized by using the italic element, <i>...</i>.
As with bold/strong, the italicized text does not necessarily imply a semantically different meaning. Instead, you are encouraged to use the “emphasis” element instead ( <em>...</em> ). The emphasis element indicates subtle changes in the meaning of a sentence. By default, the browser will show these elements in italic.
