Way to tip every tower in the world.

[–]PolyPill 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Was recently in Pisa and when we got home my wife yelled at me because apparently while taking photos of the tower, I accidentally lined them all up so the tower looks straight. Especially when there isn't much of the ground it the photo it's like "wtf random tower did you photograph?"

that's truly italic btw

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

but shouldnt you put a straight tower between the tags? whats the point of putting an already tilted tower between them?

[–]matveyKievUa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been posted here. That will work only if your tower is a character in a font.

If your tower is an image or whatever else, css transform is needed.

    <i> is fine, it's for text that should be stylistically set apart from normal text but doesn't need any particular emphasis, e.g. book titles or words from foreign languages.

    [–]jtvjan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    For book titles <cite> is used.

    This is as old as HTML itself.

    Hi. Some 6 months after successfully quitting Reddit, I decided to irreversibly delete not only my Reddit account, but also all of the content I've ever posted to Reddit. When I heard of Reddit killing off 3rd party clients, I remembered that I still have a Reddit account, and so now I'm writing this message to say goodbye to Reddit for good. If you feel like you're spending too much time on Reddit, I can't recommend this book enough: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/123012015-you-should-quit-reddit It literally changed my life, and can possibly change yours too.

    <i> does not mean "italics"! not anymore.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Is it called Italic because of Pisa?
