Daniel Hister writes about use of the <i> element: > So many websites do reviews of TV shows, music, plays, etc. and all those > are, according to my experience in journalism classes, "supposed to be" > printed in italics. In this case, we're talking about a title, so the <cite> element can be used. A few specific elements exist for non-emphatic syntactic use of italics, such as <dfn> and <var>, but it's impossible for such a list to be exhaustive, and it's useful to have the <i> and <b> elements to indicate, in contrast to a <span>, that the change in font style carries a logical meaning.
