Use of em

HTML <em> element answers the question of how to italicize in HTML. Web browsers set the font-style of <em> element to italic, similarly to the HTML <i> element. However, <em> also has a semantic meaning.

<h2>Eagles fly <em>above</em> the clouds during rain.</h2>

Note: screen readers render a different tone to specify importance for the text in HTML <em> tags, but do not change tone for the <i> tag.
