However, it should not be used to apply italic styling; use the CSS <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-style"><code>font-style</code></a> property for that purpose. Use the <a href="cite"><code><cite></code></a> element to mark the title of a work (book, play, song, etc.). Use the <a href="i"><code><i></code></a> element to mark text that is in an alternate tone or mood, which covers many common situations for italics such as scientific names or words in other languages. Use the <a href="strong"><code><strong></code></a> element to mark text that has greater importance than surrounding text.</p> +</div> +<h3 id="i_vs._em"><i> vs. <em></h3> +<div class="section-content"> +<p>Some developers may be confused by how multiple elements seemingly produce similar visual results. <code><em></code> and <code><i></code> are a common example, since they both italicize text. What's the difference? Which should you use?</p> <p>By default, the visual result is the same. However, the semantic meaning is different. The <code><em></code> element represents stress emphasis of its contents, while the <code><i></code> element represents text that is set off from the normal prose, such as a foreign word, fictional character thoughts, or when the text refers to the definition of a word instead of representing its semantic meaning. (The title of a work, such as the name of a book or movie, should use <code><cite></code>.)</p> <p>This means the right one to use depends on the situation. Neither is for purely decorative purposes, that's what CSS styling is for.</p> <p>An example for <code><em></code> could be: "Just <em>do</em> it already!", or: "We <em>had</em> to do something about it". A person or software reading the text would pronounce the words in italics with an emphasis, using verbal stress.</p> <p>An example for <code><i></code> could be: "The <em>Queen Mary</em> sailed last night". Here, there is no added emphasis or importance on the word "Queen Mary". It is merely indicated that the object in question is not a queen named Mary, but a ship named <em>Queen Mary</em>. Another example for <code><i></code> could be: "The word <em>the</em> is an article".</p> +</div> +<h2 id="examples">Examples</h2> +<div class="section-content"> +<p>In this example, the <code><em></code> element is used to highlight an implicit or explicit contrast between two ingredient lists:</p> <div class="code-example"> +<p class="example-header"><span class="language-name">html</span></p> +<pre data-signature="UXf1xt3uyeRdmREApaSKk1UzFYim5tpPfITzH0C3tD4=" data-language="html"><span class="token tag"><span class="token tag"><span class="token punctuation"><</span>p</span><span class="token punctuation">></span></span> + Ice cream is made with milk, sweetener, and cream.
