Template:Italic block
 | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
 | This template uses block elements, e.g. See H:DIVSPAN for details. |
Normally body text is written using roman (or upright) font, while text with special meaning, such as emphasis or technical terms, is indicated using italics. However, sometimes authors choose to swap this convention for decorative purpose. This is the case for text inside this template. The split templates {{italic block/s}} and {{italic block/e}} are available for spanning page breaks.
