italicizing
Slanting for emphasis
Italicizing is putting text in italics—the slanted typeface used for emphasis, titles, or foreign words.
You might italicize a book title, a word you want to stress, or a term being introduced: The author keeps italicizing Latin phrases.
In handwriting or where italics aren't available, underlining serves the same purpose.
