The font-style property is mostly used to specify italic text. This property has three values -- normal, italic and oblique (which is like italic but it's less supported by browsers):
| HTML file: | Displayed by browser: |
|---|---|
|
<style>
p.normal { font-style: normal; } p.italic { font-style: italic; } p.oblique { font-style: oblique; } </style> <body> <p class="normal">This is a paragraph in normal style.</p> <p class="italic">This is a paragraph in italic style.</p> <p class="oblique">This is a paragraph in oblique style.</p> </body> |
This is a paragraph in normal style. This is a paragraph in italic style. This is a paragraph in oblique style. |
Why bother with the oblique one at all?
