-==== Can I have special formatting in the bibliography, e.g. italic for foreign words, subscript in a chemical formula? ====
+==== How do I use rich text formatting, like italics and sub/superscript, in titles? ====
-Basic formatting is [[dev/csl_syntax_summary#formatting|supported]] in bibliographies at present, but must apply to the whole field  (e.g. the whole title will be in italic).
+You can apply rich text formatting by manually adding the following HTML-like tags to fields in your Zotero library:
-Spacing, line breaks and indents are also [[dev/csl_syntax_summary#bibliography_only_options|supported]].
+  * <nowiki><i></nowiki> and <nowiki></i></nowiki> for //italics//
+  * <nowiki><b></nowiki> and <nowiki></b></nowiki> for **bold**
+  * <nowiki><sub></nowiki> and <nowiki></sub></nowiki> for <sub>subscript</sub>
+  * <nowiki><sup></nowiki> and <nowiki></sup></nowiki> for <sup>superscript</sup>
+  * <nowiki><span style="font-variant:small-caps;"></nowiki> and <nowiki></span></nowiki> for <html><span style="font-variant: small-caps;">smallcaps</span></html>
+  * <nowiki><span class="nocase"></nowiki> and <nowiki></span></nowiki> to <html><span class="nocase">suppress capitalization rules (e.g., for foreign phrases within English titles)</span></html>
-Special formatting for individual words or characters within fields - such as SmallCaps, <sub>subscript</sub>, <sup>superscript</sup> and //italic// - is not yet supported, though this should be possible in upcoming releases of the CSL.
+Zotero will automatically replace these tags by the specified formatting in bibliographic output. E.g. "<nowiki><i>Pseudomonas aureofaciens</i></nowiki> nov. spec. and its pigments" will become "//Pseudomonas aureofaciens// nov. spec. and its pigments".
-Here's a [[/forum/3875#Item_11|workaround]] which may help you for now.

+Note that if rich text formatting has to be applied indiscriminately to entire fields (e.g. a style guide may dictate that titles should be in italics), you can modify the relevant Citation Style Language (CSL) style (see the [[dev/citation_styles|CSL documentation]] and the [[http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html#formatting|CSL field formatting options]]).
+A future version of Zotero will allow visual rich-text editing without manually adding HTML tags.
