Mixing roman and italic in blockquotes
-
I prefer blockquotes in roman type, and have changed the setting in my custom Suits theme accordingly. But there are times when a blockquote should also display words and phrases in italics; for example, when I want to emphasize something or give title of a book. But even if I italicize a word or phrase in blockquoted material when I create a post, it appears in roman type when the post is published. Is there a way to set roman as the default type while allowing italicized material to display in italics? Here’s a link to a post in which I italicized a word (“almost”) but it doesn’t appear in italics, so I added underlining: https://politicsandprosperity.com/2017/02/02/scott-adams-understands-probability/

Hi @teatag!
I see what’s going on :)
Suits uses italics on blockquotes, and then normal font for italics in a blockquote. So it basically reverses the behavior of italicized text in a quote.
Adding this style to balance out the theme’s default behavior should do the trick:
blockquote em { font-style: italic; }Let me know how that goes!
