# ITALIC

## Syntax
```
ITALIC <value>
```

or

```
PRINT ITALIC <value>;
```

This can be used to change the permanent print settings, or the temporary ones.
When used as a direct command:

```
ITALIC n
```

where n is either 0 (false) or 1 (true), then the subsequent print statements will have their `INK`
pixels slewed left at the top, and right at the bottom, making text appear italicized.

This command can be used as temporary colours by combining them with a print statement:

```
Print INK 0;PAPER 7; ITALIC 1; "This is ITALIC BLACK text on WHITE"
```

This version does not change the permanent colour settings and only affects
the characters printed within that print statement.

## Remarks
* This statement is NOT Sinclair BASIC compatible.
