Best Answer

Italics, like 'Example' are used when placing emphasis on a certain phrase so that it is read in a certain way e.g.

'The man was convicted of murder. He was not guilty.'

In this circumstance, you may also have used bold font, but I believe that italics would be more appropriate.

Italics may also be used when giving the name of a text or passage, like 'Moby Dick'. This means that you don't need the 'inverted commas' which would be used especially if writing by hand.
