| definition: |
Italic is a style for producing typed alphabet letters, numbers, and symbols. In Italic, the letters slant to the right. Italic looks like this. When we talk about a piece of text being in this style, we often use the plural form, "italics." We say that the text is "in italics." Names of books and movies are often put in italics, like "The Hobbit" and "Spider-Man."
This dictionary puts its example sentences in italics. |
