Syntax

js

italics()

Parameters

None.

Return value

A string beginning with an <i> start tag, then the text str, and then an </i> end tag.

Examples

Using italics()

The code below creates an HTML string and then replaces the document's body with it:

js

const contentString = "Hello, world";
document.body.innerHTML = contentString.italics();

This will create the following HTML:

html

<i>Hello, world</i>

Instead of using italics() and creating HTML text directly, you should use DOM APIs such as document.createElement(). For example:

js

const contentString = "Hello, world";
const elem = document.createElement("i");
elem.innerText = contentString;
document.body.appendChild(elem);
