Italics and not wanting to display italics - 11/24/2003 11:09:18
Hi,
I thought the title of the post might catch some eyes.
My question is I have an <i> tag. I want to in my external CSS file set the <i> tag with a class to not display italics. I know this sound different but I am playing with some SEO thoughts.
I have been searching for a while and coming up empty.
Thanks,
Brian

I figured this was a doomed one. Just wanted to verify.
TIA,
Brian

You should be able to just redefine the <i> tag, or make a class to apply to the <i> tag.
This first one should make the font normal for all instances of <i> in the source code.
i {
font-style: normal;
}
Or you could leave the tag as it usually is, and make a class for those instances where you don't want the font to appear as italics.
.nonitalic {
font-style: normal;
}
Then your html would be <i class="nonitalic"> and it would actually show as non-italic.
How you do this would actually depend on whether you were wanting to redefine for all instances or just some.
You would probably also want to do the same for <em> which is also used by some HTML editors.
I hope some of this made sense. *S*

Sweet, I didn't think of that.
Just to give the reason, since you both were great enough to wake my brain up...
One step of my SEO routine is to bold, italicize keywords (among other tags). I think it detracts from the sites look. So this way I can still have the SE give a higher weight for the keyword but not mess up the view.
Thanks again all,
Brian

Wow. I had no idea that bolding and italicizing keywords boosts SE ratings!
