I need to italicize a word in the title of my submission. In the final preview page before submission on arXiv, the word is not being italicized rather I see:

\textit{word}

This is the case for both title and abstract. Screenshot below: enter image description here

Is there a solution for this?

For reference, https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.01521 has some LaTex text in the title.
