I italic text HTML 2.0

Purpose

italic text

Description

This element backets text that is meant to be rendered as italics. Because the meaning of the I element defines the appearance of the content it encloses, this element is considered a "physical" markup element. As such, it doesn't convey the meaning of a semantic markup element such as EM.
