Useful to know

HTML cite marks the title of a creative work, such as a book or film. It is not a general container for every italic phrase. [1]

When formatting a reference, distinguish the title, author and document link. If a decorative label merely needs italics, CSS can handle presentation without assigning the wrong meaning.
