Module:italics

The following documentation is located at Module:italics/documentation. [edit]
Useful links: subpage list • links • transclusions • testcases • sandbox (diff)

This module applies proper italicization to the taxonomic name of a genus, species, subspecies, variety, or form; or italicizes a title while not italicizing a parenthetical disambiguator. It is intended to be used in interwiki link modules, but might be useful elsewhere too.
