Hello Prozians,

I have noticed some programs some places like YouTube or Rev.com don't allow italics on their subtitles. What is the substitute?

Off-screen narrators or speakers, title of books, movies, TV shows, etc. all require italics.

What is the substitute if you're not allowed to use italics?
