How to italicize text in CSS

To italicize text in CSS, you can use the font-style property and set its value to italic. Here’s an example:

.italic-text {
  font-style: italic;
}

In the example above, we define a CSS class .italic-text. By applying this class to an HTML element, such as a <p> or <span>, you can italicize the text within that element.

Here’s how you can apply the class to an element in HTML:

<p class="italic-text">This is italicized text.</p>

In this case, the text “This is italicized text.” will be rendered in an italic style.

It’s important to note that italic styles are dependent on the font being used. Not all fonts have an italic variant available. In cases where the specified font does not have an italic style, the browser may apply a slanted or oblique style instead. For better control over the font style, ensure that you are using a font that includes italic variants or consider using web-safe fonts that have built-in italic styles.
