Long story short:
Don't use <span class="italics">. Stick with proper <i> or <em> throughout (or mix of both):
Code:
<p>In <i>Book Title</i>, the character screamed: “Not in <em>my</em> neighborhood!”</p>
For technical details, reasoning, and examples, see my
Post #43 in "Extended <head> chapter: NOT necessary?", plus the surrounding discussion by other users (
my Post #52 also gave nuances between <i> and <em>).
This was all "settled" and discussed to death back in that 2017 thread.
Side Note: And if you want to easily flip between <i> <-> <em>, or change all <span class="italics"> -> <i>, then you can follow
the instructions I posted for DiapDealer's fantastic TagMechanic plugin.
