open bracket [ the letter i ] closed bracket - text you want in italics - open bracket [ /the letter i ] closed bracket

See example here.

It goes like this for italic. on your keyboard press the [ key then the i key then the end ]. Type your word or words then press the [ again with the / key, the letter i and the ]. there you have it. For smiley face double click the one you want.

Using the [ squared brackets of [i] and [/i] the first bracket makes anything following it in italics. The last bracket [/] stops the talics. There cannot be any spaces within the bracket
