in thread My favorite HTML font style tag is...

Why? What's the difference. I am sure that there is a good one, but i don't understand why you just say "you should this!" without explaining why. Also, if you were a nitpicker then you would have said "use <em> tags" instead, because that's the XHTML way (all lower cased elements).

Letsee, i just tested this html:

<p>this is <i>italic</i></p> <p>this is <em>emphasis</em></p> <p>this is <tt>teletype</tt></p>
and viewed it with lynx, which 'rendered' the <i> and <em> tags, but not the <tt> tag. If this is what you were referring to, then yes, i should switch. But i probably won't. ;)
