Instead of using the <i> element, use the <em> element.

Cheo is correct, but you might like to know why the difference is important. MDN says:

By default, the visual result is the same. However, the semantic meaning is different. The <em> element represents stress emphasis of its contents, while the <i> element represents text that is set off from the normal prose, such a foreign word, fictional character thoughts, or when the text refers to the definition of a word instead of representing its semantic meaning.

For more details, see the linked MDN page.

Hi Rahul

Thanks in advance. For "ITALIC" you have to use <em>some text</em instead of <i>some text</i> for more details you can have a look in this URL https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/em
