An "em" element is an inline element that you can use to specify text with a normal emphasis. Here are basic rules about "em" elements:
- "em" elements are inline elements.
- "em" elements can not be used at block level.
- Contents of "em" elements will be displayed in italic by most browsers.
- "em" elements will be treated like "i" elements by most browsers.
- "i" elements may not be supported in future versions of XHTML, You should not use "i" elements in your XHTML.
- .
Here is a good example of "em" and "i" elements:
<?xml version="1.0" ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>EM and I Elements</title> </head> <body> <p>All <em>programmers</em> are playwrights and all <i>computers</i> are lousy actors.</p> </body> </html>
If you save the above document as em_and_i.html, and view it with
Internet Explorer, you will see that contents in both "em" and "i"
elements are displayed in italic as shown below:
