This template can be used to italicise page titles. It should only be used in articles that meet the criteria for italic titles given in the [[Wikipedia:Article titles#Italics and other formatting|Article titles]] policy.

===Usage===
*<tt><nowiki>{{Italic title}}</nowiki></tt> italicises the title automatically under certain circumstances. If the title is less than 50 characters in length, italicisation is always performed automatically:
**Titles with no brackets <tt>()</tt> are fully italicised:
***{{Nowrap|<tt>Foo</tt>}} → {{Nowrap|'''''Foo'''''}}
***{{Nowrap|<tt>Talk:Foo</tt>}} → {{Nowrap|'''Talk:''Foo'''''}}
**Titles which contain brackets are italicised before the first open bracket:
***{{Nowrap|<tt>Foo (bar)</tt>}} → {{Nowrap|'''''Foo'' (bar)'''}}
***{{Nowrap|<tt>Talk:Foo (bar)</tt>}} → {{Nowrap|'''Talk:''Foo'' (bar)'''}}
*Titles longer than 50 characters are not automatically italicised. However, you can pass parameters for the template to test the title against: if a match is found, italicisation is performed:
**{{Nowrap|<tt><nowiki>{{Italic title| name | bracket1 | bracket2 | ... }}</nowiki></tt>}}, where "name" is the first part of the title (before any brackets) and the "bracket#" are a list of up to five possible brackets:{{Break}}{{Nowrap|<tt><nowiki>{{Italic title| Foo | bar | baz }}</nowiki></tt>}} will italicise as follows:
***{{Nowrap|<tt>Foo</tt>}} → {{Nowrap|'''''Foo'''''}}
***{{Nowrap|<tt>Foo (bar)</tt>}} → {{Nowrap|'''''Foo'' (bar)'''}}
***{{Nowrap|<tt>Foo (baz)</tt>}} → {{Nowrap|'''''Foo'' (baz)'''}}
***{{Nowrap|<tt>Foo (quok)</tt>}} → {{Nowrap|'''Foo (quok)'''}}
