italicise
Make letters lean
Italicise is the British spelling of italicize—to print or display text in slanted type for emphasis, titles, or foreign words: Italicise the book titles in your bibliography.
The slant distinguishes marked text from surrounding roman type.
In handwriting or plain text, underlining serves the same function.
