Italic, bold-face, and other text styles are easy in LATEX.
For example, you can use \textit{this text in italic}
to output this text in italic. Similarly,
the \textbf will apply boldface to its parameter.
Here is a table of text styles that can be used:
| Command | Meaning | Output |
|---|---|---|
\textit{sample text} |
Italics | sample text |
\textbf{sample text} |
Bold face | sample text |
\textsl{sample text} |
Slanted | sample text |
\texttt{sample text} |
Typewriter style | sample text |
You can combine these commands to get effects such as boldface that is also italic or slanted.
