How can I make my Tumblr tags italicised?

Question

I'm using this theme. I put the code below in to make tags visible, but I'm not sure how to make my tags italic/bold/underlined. Can anyone help me out? Google didn't help.

{block:HasTags}
       {block:Tags}
          <font size="2"> 
          <font color="#FFFFFF">
          <a href="{TagURL}">{Tag}</a>
          </font>
          </font>
       {/block:Tags}
    {/block:HasTags}

Answer 1

Using the font element is outdated. CSS should be used instead.

You can use this markup:

{block:HasTags}
  {block:Tags}
    <a href="{TagURL}" class="custom_tag">{Tag}</a>
  {/block:Tags}
{/block:HasTags}

And add this line to your CSS:

.custom_tag {color:#FFF; font-size:1.2em; font-style:italic;}

(You might have to adapt the font-size value; I don’t know what the font element’s size="2" corresponds to.)
