      In the online editor? With the default config, it should be the other way round - <i> should be replaced with <em>.

        No. I write in Notepad and email them.

        I've never seen that happen, but maybe I'll try to be more observant in the future.

            Possibly. I'm fairly sure they pass articles through a filter upon arrival that way.

              "em" is way too verbose. Em prefer the good ol' "i".

                    em is preferred since HTML 4.01. ≪I> has been there since before CSS. All tags are suggestions to the renderer and as such the suggestion is EMphasis. ≪b> should be replaced with strong also.

                        The <i> tag is actually more appropriate here, since it is still the element to be used for typographically italicized text i.e. text that is just in italic without any semantics to it whatsoever. <em> is meant to be used for emphasis/stressing.

                          em is not a replacement for i, they have semantically different meanings. It's the specific scenario that dictates preference.

                            Actually, I do agree with you. Styling should be in CSS.

                              Exactly, and the browser should decide how to do that. Not every system can italicize; some may need to make the text blink instead. :-D
