# Italic [![Version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@tiptap/extension-italic.svg?label=version)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tiptap/extension-italic) [![Downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/@tiptap/extension-italic.svg)](https://npmcharts.com/compare/@tiptap/extension-italic?minimal=true) Use this extension to render text in *italic*. If you pass ``, `` tags, or text with inline `style` attributes setting `font-style: italic` in the editor’s initial content, they all will be rendered accordingly. Type `*one asterisk*` or `_one underline_` and it will magically transform to *italic* text while you type. ::: warning Restrictions The extension will generate the corresponding `` HTML tags when reading contents of the `Editor` instance. All text marked italic, regardless of the method will be normalized to `` HTML tags. ::: ## Installation ```bash # with npm npm install @tiptap/extension-italic # with Yarn yarn add @tiptap/extension-italic ``` ## Settings | Option | Type | Default | Description | | -------------- | -------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | HTMLAttributes | `Object` | `{}` | Custom HTML attributes that should be added to the rendered HTML tag. | ## Commands | Command | Parameters | Description | | ------------ | ---------- | -------------------- | | setItalic | — | Mark text as italic. | | toggleItalic | — | Toggle italic mark. | | unsetItalic | — | Remove italic mark. | ## Keyboard shortcuts * Windows/Linux: `Control` `I` * macOS: `Cmd` `I` ## Source code [packages/extension-italic/](https://github.com/ueberdosis/tiptap/blob/main/packages/extension-italic/) ## Usage
