You can italicize text in HTML using the <em> tag or the <i> tag, depending on the intended meaning of the text. In CSS, you can use the font-style property to set text to italic.
Here’s an example of how to italicize text using HTML:
<p>This is <em>italicized</em> text using the em tag.</p>
<p>This is <i>italicized</i> text using the i tag.</p>
In this code, we’re using the <em> tag and the <i> tag to italicize the word “italicized” in two different paragraphs. The <em> tag is typically used for emphasizing text, while the <i> tag is used for marking up text as different from surrounding text, without indicating emphasis.
To italicize text using CSS, you can use the font-style property, like this:
p {
font-style: italic;
}
In this code, we’re setting the font-style property of all <p> elements to italic, which will italicize all text within those elements. You can also apply the font-style property to specific elements or classes, like this:
.emphasis {
font-style: italic;
}
In this code, we’re creating a CSS class called .emphasis and setting its font-style property to italic. You can apply this class to any HTML element to italicize the text within that element. For example:
<p>This is <span class="emphasis">italicized</span> text using CSS.</p>
In this code, we’re applying the .emphasis class to a <span> element to italicize the word “italicized” within the paragraph.
