How to Italic individual words

How do you create a style to italic individual words?

on this site: www.fatcitycafe.net
I have words like the Willamette Week, which is a publication that I want to italicize.

<style type="text/css">

.i { font-style:italic

}

</style>

<p class="i">Text</p>

Add class="i" for each word you want to italicize.



A simpler solution, however, would be to add <i> tags around text.

<i>Text</i>

I didn't know that <i> tags were still used. That did the trick. :)

Use the structural tag em instead of the formatting tag <i>:

<em>I'm italized and at the same time, and I receive a special attention from the spiders</em>

If it is a "citation", <cite> might also work to do that, depending on the semantics involved.

Or use a <span class="some_class" > </span> and set the styles as per #2 above for the .some_class
