How do I use rich text formatting, like italics and sub/superscript, in titles?
You can apply rich text formatting by manually adding the following HTML-like tags to fields in your Zotero library (e.g. “<i>Pseudomonas aureofaciens</i> nov. spec. and its pigments”):
- <i> and </i> for italics
- <b> and </b> for bold
- <sub> and </sub> for subscript
- <sup> and </sup> for superscript
- <sc> and </sc> for smallcaps
Zotero will automatically replace these tags by the specified formatting in bibliographic output.
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 CSL documentation and the CSL field formatting options).
