When to Italicize on LinkedIn

  • βœ… Quotes β€” attributing someone else's words
  • βœ… Book, movie, or product titles β€” traditional typography rule
  • βœ… Emphasizing a single word β€” subtler than bold
  • βœ… Technical or foreign terms β€” e.g., ad hoc, raison d'Γͺtre
  • βœ… Internal thoughts in storytelling β€” to distinguish from spoken words
  • ❌ Don't italicize entire paragraphs β€” it reduces readability
