Italic

Use this extension to render text in italic. If you pass <em>, <i> 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 <em> HTML tags when reading contents of the Editor instance. All text marked italic, regardless of the method will be normalized to <em> HTML tags. :::
