HTML 5 <i> tag
Definition and Usage
The <i> tag renders text in italics.
The <i> tag defines parts of text as different from the rest, and renders it as
italic text. Use the <i> tag when no other element can be used, such as <b>,
<cite>, <dfn>, <em>, <q>, <small>, <strong>
Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML 5
None, but in HTML 4.01, there was an understanding that you should use CSS to
make italic text. This is still the case, but in HTML 5 you should use the <i> tag
to define some part of a text as a certain type, not only how it renders in the
layout.
