The i element is typically used to apply italic highlighting to the content of the element. This element is part of the highlighting domain. Use this element only when a more semantically appropriate element is not available. For example, for specific items such as citations, use the cite element.

Note: Style sheets can be used to format the i element differently, just like any other element can be restyled. Thus, it is not the case that content in i elements will necessarily be italicized.
