As I was reading the documentation of HTML, I saw the var tag. Initially, I thought it was related to variables. However, I had seen that it was making the text Italic. So I asked myself, how many HTML tags make text Italic.
I began researching how many HTML tags make the text italic and found 5 tags that do so.
<i> tag
It is a common and well-known tag.
Display style- Inline
<i> elements are used to differentiate words from the surrounding text by styling italicized text without adding any emphasis to italicized text.
<em> tag
Display Style - Inline.
The <em> element is used to indicate text that should receive more emphasis than the surrounding text.
<cite> tag
Display style - Inline
Use the cite element to identify the source of a quotation or creative work, rather than the author or creator.
<dfn> tag
Display style- Inline
When a term is enclosed in a <dfn> tag, browsers and web crawlers will understand that nearby text contains a definition of the term.
<var> tag
Display style - Inline
Most browsers display text marked with tags in italics. This element indicates a variable in a mathematical equation or computer program.
