10. Formatting - italics
Italics within your text should be used sparingly, and only in the following instances:
- titles of individually published works, such as books, journals and stand-alone academic papers, whether written as the title of an essay, within the text, in a footnote or in a bibliography
- foreign words that are being discussed in the text (e.g. TGV stands for Train à Grande Vitesse)
- words of foreign origin that are occasionally used within English, for example, déjà vu or inter alia
Italics can also be used for emphasis, although many markers don't like this, so if you do use italics for emphasis, make sure you can defend your decision.
Finally, you can also use italics when writing a sentence like the following example:
Their, there and they’re are examples of homophones: they sound the same, but have different meanings.
