How to Italicize in XHTML
Web pages have come a long way from flashing text and frames. Today, web pages, while more complex, are also easier to read and comprehend. While many styles have fallen out of favor, you can still find italicized text. Extensible Hypertext Markup Language still allows italics text, but it is no longer the <i> tag. In XHTML, you italicize text with the <em> tag, which you add around the text you want to emphasize on your Web page.
