Description

The <em> HTML tag is a text-level element used to indicate emphasis or emphasis within a piece of content. When text is enclosed within <em> tags, it typically appears in italicized format by default in most web browsers, although the actual rendering may vary based on the browser's default styles or the website's CSS. This tag is often used to highlight words or phrases that should be given special attention or importance within the context of the surrounding text, helping to convey nuances of meaning and improve readability. It is one of the building blocks for structuring and styling content in HTML documents.
