    Italics markup is for non-emphasis purposes, such as for book titles and non-English language phrases, as detailed below. Emphasis may be used to draw attention to an important word or phrase within a sentence, when the point or thrust of the sentence may otherwise not be apparent to readers, or to stress a contrast:

    Part 1 of the manual approaches the process of research and writing. This includes providing "practical advice" to formulate "the right questions, read critically, and build arguments" as well as helping authors draft and revise a paper.

    For titles of books, articles, poems, and so forth, use italics or quotation marks following the guidance for titles. Italics can also be added to mark up non-English terms (with the {} template), for an organism's scientific name, and to indicate a words-as-words usage.

    I would like to italicize Cyrillic, in references to academic publications, because the italic is not used as "distinction from the surrounding material", as you phrase it, but to convey meaningful information to the reader of the citation: when we cite a chapter in a book, or an article in a journal, we leave the chapter or article name ...

    A book-length style guide is often called a style manual or a manual of style (MoS or MOS). A short style guide, typically ranging from several to several dozen pages, is often called a style sheet. The standards documented in a style guide are applicable for either general use, or prescribed use in an individual publication, particular ...

  8. Italic type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italic_type

    One manual of English usage described italics as "the print equivalent of underlining"; in other words, underscore in a manuscript directs a typesetter to use italic. [5] In fonts which do not have true italics, oblique type may be used instead. The difference between true italics and oblique type is that true italics have some letterforms ...

    The logic behind this is simple. Since the name of a form is more of a description of the work than a title, it could be stated in different ways (for example: Concerto No. 5 for Piano and Orchestra, Piano Concerto No. 5, Fifth Piano Concerto). The given name of a piece functions as a single unit, and cannot be separated or rewritten.
