.I [text]
Set text in an italic or oblique face. Given no argument, I
plants a one‐line input trap; text on the next line, which
can be further formatted with a macro, is set in an italic
or oblique face.
Use italics for file and path names, for environment
variables, for C data types, for enumeration or preprocessor
constants in C, for variant (user‐replaceable) portions of
syntax synopses, for the first occurrence (only) of a
technical concept being introduced, for names of journals
and of literary works longer than an article, and anywhere a
parameter requiring replacement by the user is encountered.
An exception involves variant text in a context already
typeset in italics, such as file or path names with
replaceable components; in such cases, follow the convention
of mathematical typography: set the file or path name in
italics as usual but use roman for the variant part (see IR
and RI below), and italics again in running roman text when
referring to the variant material.
