Does anyone know how to set the code text editor font style to italics in Visual Studio 2005 or 2008? Note, I'm talking about the code editor not in code itself.
Unfortunately the only way to do this, unless there's some undocumented registry setting, would be through the environment automation modules. I know Visual Assist X will italicize certain things if set up that way, so it must be possible.
I would start with Microsoft's automation samples and see what you can find. (I've made this a community answer so that if anybody wants to investigate further they can.)
