==== Automatic italics ====
{{tld|lang}} automatically applies italic styling <span style="font-weight: normal;">when the text in {{param|2}} is written entirely in the <code>Latn</code> script (the Latin alphabet and its extensions), either when that is the default encoding for the language or when it is triggered by a <code>{{var|xx}}-Latn</code> language code{{colon}}</span>
* <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{lang|fr|Je suis française.}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{lang|fr|Je suis française.}}
* <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>''{{lang|fr|Je suis française.}}''</syntaxhighlight> → ''{{lang|fr|Je suis française.}}'' – external markup is ignored
* <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{lang|he-Latn|la'az}} ({{lang|he|לעז}})</syntaxhighlight> → {{lang|he-Latn|la'az}} ({{lang|he|לעז}})
* <code><nowiki>''{{lang|he-Latn|la'az}}''</nowiki> ({{!mxt|<nowiki>''{{lang|he|לעז}}''</nowiki>}})</code> → ''{{lang|he-Latn|la'az}}'' ({{!mxt|''{{lang|he|לעז}}''}}) – external markup is ignored around the <code>he-Latn</code> text, but will incorrectly italicize the Hebrew-character material.

When <code>Latn</code> script should not be italicized, there are multiple approaches{{colon}}
{{para|italic|no}} <span style="font-weight: normal;">– renders {{param|2}} in upright font; italic markup around the template is ignored; italic markup inside the template causes an error message{{colon}}</span>
* <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{lang|fr|Je suis française.|italic=no}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{lang|fr|Je suis française.|italic=no}}
* <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>''{{lang|fr|Je suis française.|italic=no}}''</syntaxhighlight> → ''{{lang|fr|Je suis française.|italic=no}}''
* <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>''{{lang|fr|Je suis ''française''.|italic=no}}''</syntaxhighlight> → ''{{lang|fr|Je suis ''française''.|italic=no|cat=no}}'' – italic markup in conflict with {{para|italic|no}}

{{para|italic|unset}} <span style="font-weight: normal;">– disables template-provided styling; {{param|2}} is styled according to external or internal wiki markup{{colon}}</span>
* <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{lang|fr|Je suis française.|italic=unset}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{lang|fr|Je suis française.|italic=unset}}
* <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>''{{lang|fr|Je suis française.|italic=unset}}''</syntaxhighlight> → ''{{lang|fr|Je suis française.|italic=unset}}''
* <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{lang|fr|''Je suis'' English.|italic=unset}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{lang|fr|''Je suis'' English.|italic=unset}}

{{tlx|noitalic}} <span style="font-weight: normal;">can also be used{{colon}}</span>
* <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{lang|fr|Je suis {{noitalic|English}}.}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{lang|fr|Je suis {{noitalic|English}}.}}
