112 Chapter 7
To apply italic formatting, use the font-style attribute. The font style can be normal (not
italic), italic, or oblique. Oblique is also called “false italics” because it is a right-tilted
version of normal (non-italic) text. Some fonts have a separate set of characters for italic,
so there is a difference between oblique and italic; for fonts that do not, there is no difference.
Most people prefer to use italic. You can apply italic formatting in a style rule for
paragraphs.
p {font-style: italic}
This rule would make all the text within the document italicized. If you then wanted
make a certain paragraph appear without italic formatting, you might include a style tag
in that paragraph’s tag like this:
This paragraph is not italicized.
