Jul 20, 2018 at 14:29 comment added user8356 Being able to apply slanted vs. true italics at will requires ninja-level typography and font skills. I wouldn't recommend that distinction for regular users.
Jul 19, 2018 at 14:53 comment added lly Markdown does allow italics and very few people would actually take the slanted as anything except a stylized form. That said, thank you very much for your effort in illustrating the differences.
