When I'm authoring in text style (Alt-7), I'll often include inline math. Whenever I enter two or more consecutive letters (e.g., $ax^2$), Mathematica will automatically "romanize" (or "un-italicize") the letters (e.g., ax$^2$). Is there any built-in way to prevent Mathematica from doing this? (I'm sure there's probably a programmatic way, but I'm not experienced in that). Thank you

Enter an invisible space between a
and x
using the shortcut Esc+is+Esc, or a very thin space using Esc+Space+Esc.
Invisible space:
Very thin space:
SingleLetterItalics
). Do you want everything in the inline cell italicized? $\endgroup$ax
, you just writea x
like you ordinarily would in Mathematica, except that you can use a very thin space (\[VeryThinSpace]
) or a zero-width one (\[InvisibleSpace]
). You can of course also italicize text explicitly, either using the keyboard shortcut or by editing the cell expression. $\endgroup$MultiLetterItalics
option, anyway. $\endgroup$
