What's the correct PreTeXt to mark up the title of a book or movie? I assume we don't just mark it as <em> like savages.

There is a pub title element.

Second smirk of the day. As Oscar said, #pubtitle, and its companion
#articletitle for "smaller" things. Meant for less-formal situations where a
proper citation and bibliography is overkill.

Great! Turns out the modern CSS themes don't style the .booktitle elements that are generated so I just posted this PR. https://github.com/PreTeXtBook/pretext/pull/2585
