<i>
The <i> element is typically used to apply italic highlighting to
the content of the element. This element is part of the highlighting domain. Use this element only when a more
semantically appropriate element is not available. For example, for
specific items such as citations, use the <cite> element.
Note
Style sheets can be used to format the
<i> element differently, just like any other element can
be restyled. Thus, it is not the case that content in <i>
elements will necessarily be italicized.
