w:i (Italic)

Applies italic formatting to the text of the run.

Parent elements

w:rPr

Description

w:i applies italic formatting to all text in the run. It is an on/off toggle property defined in ECMA-376 Part 1 §17.3.2.16.

When present without a w:val attribute, or with w:val="true", the run is italicised. Setting w:val="false" cancels italic, overriding any italic inherited from a parent style. The complex-script equivalent is w:iCs.

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Possible Values	Description
`w:val`	`ST_OnOff`	`true`, `1`, `on` (italic on) / `false`, `0`, `off` (italic off). Omitting the attribute is equivalent to `true`.	Toggles italic on or off.

Examples

<w:r>
  <w:rPr>
    <w:i/>
  </w:rPr>
  <w:t>Italic text</w:t>
</w:r>

new Run(
  new RunProperties(new Italic()),
  new Text("Italic text"));

Notes

Toggle property: <w:i w:val="false"/> cancels italic inherited from a parent style.
The complex-script counterpart is w:iCs.
