Is it possible to make italic text or italic bold in a markdown file used in the CMS red by using CSS or something?

Sure!

In the Markdown Component add the following classes to the CSS Classes field under Advanced:

To make the italic text red use the following code:

[&_em]:text-red-600

To make the italic text bold use the following code:

prose-em:font-bold

To make the italic text bold and red use the following code:

[&_em]:text-red-600 prose-em:font-bold

Hi Dan,

So that’s for the Markdown component, but I wanted to style text in the CMS blog post. Will it work there as well.

That does work in the Typography component with CMS.
