# Italic
Use this extension to render text in *italic*. If you pass `<em>`, `<i>` tags, or text with inline `style` attributes setting `font-style: italic` in the editor’s initial content, they all will be rendered accordingly.

Type `*one asterisk*` or `_one underline_` and it will magically transform to *italic* text while you type.

::: warning Restrictions
The extension will generate the corresponding `<em>` HTML tags when reading contents of the `Editor` instance. All text marked italic, regardless of the method will be normalized to `<em>` HTML tags.
