HTML <i> Tag
The <i>
tag is used to show a section of text in a different tone or mood. The text inside is usually presented in italic style.
The <i>
tag is commonly used to show a technical term, a phrase from a different language, a thought, a ship name, and so on.

- <em> (emphasized text)
- <strong> (important text)
- <mark> (marked/highlighted text)
- <cite> (the title of a work)
- <dfn> (a definition term)
