WE can display text in italic format with an html page by using <i> tag. Inside a webpage the area we want to be italic should be within one starting and one ending italic tag.
Here is the format.
This is normal text but <i>this part is italic text</i>. Now again normal text
The above code will display like this.
This is normal text but this part is italic text. Now again normal text
Italic text has different uses at different places. Within the body of the page we can mark some special type of text in italic to say they are different than normal text. In this site we used italic text to declare a variable or a function of the script.
This tag like any other html tag is not case sensitive , so we can use <i> or <I>
