Adding Italics to Zotero Records
Adding Italics to Zotero Records
If you need to display information in italics (for example, genus and species names), you will need to edit the Zotero record. Type <i> where you want the italics to begin, and </i> where you want them to end.
- For example, here's what an article title would look like in Zotero:
- Microplastic study reveals the presence of natural and synthetic fibres in the diet of King Penguins <i>(Aptenodytes patagonicus)</i> foraging from South Georgia
- And here's what that same article title would look like in your Word or Google doc:
- Microplastic study reveals the presence of natural and synthetic fibres in the diet of King Penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) foraging from South Georgia.
