TOPIC: italics, underline, etc., in joomla editor not working

italics, underline applied in joomla article editor don't show up; editing in HTML editor doesn't help (neither <em> nor <i> tags gives italics, for example).

Please help. My site really needs these differentiators!

Thank you,

on the start page new york times is underlined. I cannot find an <i> tag for underline anywhere on the page.

there is <em> tag in the section starting "You think you've got it bad"

Regarding the underline, those usually work when I put them in manually. With the editor, underlines and italics applied show in article in back end, but not in front end. I can usually mnaually get <u> to work w html editor but neither <em> nor <i> works for italics>

And, more important, I would of course like to be able to use the article editor and have the font styles applied there show up like they're intended. We previously used another company's template and didnt have this problem so i do suspect there is something particular to biggi smalls.

Hey laurie,
You are right! My browser_reset.css style is a little bit over restricting and I haven't defined i,em or u in my css files.

Please find templates/biggiesmalls/css/typography.css and add this

This should solve the problem!
Thank you!
Daniel

Daniel,

An overdue "thank you" for this helpful reply. I added the code to the CSS and it works now. Check out the lovely italics on the second item on our home page now
