<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">sloping type</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for italics that I've seen before include "Typeface with letters slanting to the right" , "way of writing?" , "Letters in sloping type" , "Sloping font" , "Sloping typeface" .)
