To italicize text in HTML we use <i> Your text </i> . em is used as a unit of measurement.
Hope this helps.
Enjoy coding.

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsThat's not quite true. The <em>
element is used in HTML5 to stress emphasis on its content which appears in italics.
Take out the use of <em>
where you've used it in the second paragraph. That's not needed and is probably why the code challenge is failing. Good luck! :-)
