Hello list mavens, What are the circumstances under which style=italicface should be used instead of style=italic. I note a difference when I define highlighting. I expected to see no difference in the line before and line after the hairline the example below, but see that italicface adapts to nesting, while italic does not: Are there other places where this makes a difference? \setupbodyfontenvironment [default] [em=italicface] %same with italic for this example \definehighlight [emIt] [style=italic] \definehighlight [emIf] [style=italicface] \definehighlight [emEm] [style=\em] \starttext {\em abc {\em def} ghi}: \type{\em} \emph{abc {\emph def} ghi}: \type{\emph} \emEm{abc {\emEm def} ghi}: \type{\emEm \definehighlight[style=\em]} \emIf{abc {\emIf def} ghi}: \type{\emIf \definehighlight[style=italicface]} \hairline \emIt{abc {\emIt def} ghi}: \type{\emIt \definehighlight[style=italic]} \stoptext -- Rik
