Greetings.

If I use the DHTML editor in the "teaser box" for the article, the resulting story shows the italic when I place the code around the text. It works fine. See? This text is bold and this text is in italics.

If I do the same in the extended text box, placing the code around the the text just like above, the text IS NOT displayed in italics...

Also, if I do the same in both the teaser and the extended text boxes, at first the italics shows for the words in the teaser, but when I click through to the mod (news), the italics are gone.

I think this is a problem with my theme (bleekk-xpolo360)..

Note, the italics DO show up in the pdf that is generated... The code is there, but is not showing in the displayed article.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

into the reset instruction (style.css, first line) there are :
font-weight:inherit;
font-style:inherit;

... delete it and see what happens ?

That did the trick. Thanks so much for your help!
