Format text within Title and Book Title?

JonEP
I'm wondering if it is possible to format text in the Info tab, specifically in the Title field. I would like to be able to enter non-English words in italics, so that they would appear as italicized in footnotes or bibliographies (unless the title/book title is itself italicized, in which case the non-English text would appear as normal)?

Thanks.

    As always, search the forum before posting.
    Searching, e.g. for "Italics in Titl" would have led you to this:

    which includes the current state of the discussion as well as a workaround for the status quo, which allows you some basic richt text in titles etc.

    This is not currently possible, but it's coming. The plan is to allow users (by some means) to mark off a title within a title not as "italic", but as "title". This will play nice with other styles that might require the same text to be enclosed in single quotes. The flip-flop behavior that you describe will be part of the design.
