I don't think it the norm to change mod files to suit styling requirements,
why can you not add italic or whatever to a CSS class ?

You can use class with <blockcode class="italic"> and define the css for it.

(Unless I have misunderstood what you are doing)

I think Cyriaque wants to do something like:

<code>foo <italic>bar</italic></code>

That is, he wants to highlight a specific part of the code content.
