Here "cell" includes inline cells.

-------

For example, with the Default style sheet, in a text cell constructed by
- choose Style>Text
- type f
- choose Edit>Exression Input > Start Inline Cell - type h+ g
- choose Edit>Exression Input > End Inline Cell - typwe f

The middle h and g are in italics (h+g is in its own in line cell that
has Traditional style)

Setting the option SingleLetterItalics -> False fo the entire text cell
has no effect o th is. However if you selct the inline cell, say by
clicking on + repeatedly until the section gets no greater and then
uing the Options Inspector to set the option SingleLetterItalics ->
False for the inline cell (or you can edit the cell exprssion) then
the itaalics will go.

Inline cells are automatically generated in text cells when you
construct 2D expressions. You can recogn ize them by clicking on one of
the letters - the cell should show up with a pink background.

Hi Allan,

An alternative is to change the style sheet with the option
SingleLetterItalics->False for the two styles Inline Cell and
TraditionalForm. If the option is True in either style, then single
letters will be italicized.
