The font-style property

The font-style property sets an italic or oblique text.

Syntax

selector {
	font-style: italic | oblique | normal;
}

Value	Description
`italic`	Makes a text italic.
`oblique`	Sloped text. Unlike italic, which imitates handwriting, oblique is normal text where the letters are sloped to the side.
`normal`	Cancels italics or slope. Usually necessary if you need to cancel italics for a certain section of a text (for example, all paragraphs are italicized, but this one is not).

Default value: normal.

Now the text will become italic:

<p>
	Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
</p>

p {
	font-style: italic;
}

The text will now become sloped (depending on the browser, it may be indistinguishable from italic):

<p>
	Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
</p>

p {
	font-style: oblique;
}
