# 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.

## Example

Source | Output
--- | ---
There is not <i>really</i> any difference | There is not really any difference
