What is i / em?
The <i> and <em> tags in HTML are used to emphasize text. The <i> tag represents text that is set off from the normal prose, such as technical terms, foreign words, or thoughts. The <em> tag represents stress emphasis of its contents. While both may render similarly in browsers (often as italicized text), <em> has semantic meaning, indicating importance, whereas <i> is purely presentational.
