Italic Markup

Renders a text span as italic in the final output. Use inside glue-string expressions to italicize a portion of a title, footnote, column label, or cell value.

Common in regulatory tables for:

• P-value annotations: "{fr_italic('P')}-value" renders as P-value.

• Statistical method notes: Fisher's exact, Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel.

• Latin abbreviations: vs., et al., in vitro.

Usage

fr_italic(x)

Arguments

x

Character. Text to render in italic.

Value

An fr_markup object. When interpolated inside a glue string, produces a sentinel token resolved at render time.

Rendering

In RTF output, italic uses \i ... \i0 control words. In future LaTeX output, it maps to \textit{}.

See also

fr_bold() for bold, fr_underline() for underline.

Examples

# Italic P-value annotation
fr_italic("P")
#> <fr_markup> _P_

# In footnotes:
spec <- tbl_demog |> fr_table()
spec |> fr_footnotes("[a] {fr_italic('P')}-value from Fisher's exact test.")
#> 
#> ── fr_spec: Table 
#> Data: 28 rows x 6 columns
#> Page: landscape letter, 9pt Courier New
#> Header: valign=bottom
#> Footnotes (1):
#> 1. [left] "[a] P-value from Fisher's exact test."
spec |> fr_footnotes("Comparison {fr_italic('vs.')} placebo.")
