The following examples show how to format italic text. Since this is the most common type of inline markup, they also discuss the placement of inline markup in general.
We begin with Italics because it is the most common kind
of formatting we find in most projects. The reasons why
we format italics as we do also apply to the other
in-line formatting markups that we use.


'''Before reviewing these examples''', make sure your are familiar with the sections of the [[Formatting Guidelines]] on [[Formatting Guidelines#Italics|Italics]] and [[Formatting_Guidelines#Placement_of_Inline_Formatting_Markup|Placement of Inline Formatting Markup]].
Many formatting decisions involve whether to place
punctuation (especially periods) '''inside''' or '''outside''' the
in-line markups, so most of these commented examples
will focus on the proper placement of punctuation.
