You can set the style of your font using font-style. Here is how!


<html>

<head>

<style type="text/css">

h1 {font-style: italic}

h2 {font-style: normal}

p {font-style: oblique}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<h1>I like to eat meatballs</h1>

<h2>I'm pretty normal</h2>

<p>I don't know what oblique means</p>

</body>

</html>

Setting the Variant of a Font

You can set the variant of a font like this:


<html>

<head>

<style type="text/css">

p.normal {font-variant: normal}

p.smallcaps {font-variant: small-caps}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<p class="normal">This is normal</p>

<p class="smallcaps">This is small caps...</p>

</body>

</html>
