css text problem

Hi all

Is there a possibility to put a paragraph of text in an italic kind of way? so not just a straigt text down but a littlebit "fallen" to the left.

For sure..

<p class="italic">My Paragraph Text</p>

Code (markup):

With the CSS

.italic { font-style:italic; }

Code (markup):

Or to do it inline (try to avoid using inline styling and keep your CSS in an external stylesheet though)

<p style="font-style: italic">My Paragraph Text</p>

Code (markup):

 

No, this is not what I need, its hard to explain (english isn't my mother tongue)

I want it like the header on this page http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/165/165.css&page=5
I know this text is in an image but is it possible to do it without putting it in an image?

can't you just add <em>?

<em>text here</em>

 

No, look, it is my intention to tilt the whole paragraph a couple of degrees.

 

What you are asking for is ROTATION, not italic. The entire box is rotatated, not slanted.

... In theory you could use a -moz property for firefux, a -webkit property for saffy/chrome, and a filter to do that in IE, but that still leaves opera out in the cold - though there you could use SVG ....

But using browser specific stuff to implement things is usually a bad idea.

In theory it's coming in CSS3, though nobody has implemented it yet...

So for now, use an image.

 

Thanks lws009 for showing me how to italicise my font.
