    Hello,

    Is it considered bad practice to style the i and em tags in css?

    Here is an example:


    

    
i {
    
font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;
    
font-style:  italic;
    
}
    

    
em {
    
font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;
    
font-style:  italic;
    
color: red;
    
}

    I wouldn’t necessarily call it ‘bad practice’. I’d say you might want to be more specific than just outright `em { }`. Maybe you want to do something like `.rte em { }` (rte == rich text editor).
