Formatting of in-game description

The in-game description of party charm includes italics; so does cake polaroid. I don't recall any earlier in-game descriptions in Larry's Loot Lexicon with italics. Unfortunately, since our style box already italicizes the in-game description, we can't add another layer of italics, so how best to represent the change in font for "charms" and "ordinary"? -- ericb talkcontr 17:40, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

I figured out what I think is a reasonable solution. Tweaking the charm template to use ''{{desc|}}'' instead of style="font-style:italic" was enough to let the italicized words appear in plain text while the rest of the description is italics. -- ericb talkcontr 17:55, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
