            Bug ID: 158518
           Summary: Allow user to specify any of three italic types (It,
                    Em, Cite) in character styles; allow this to determine
                    html code of created ebooks
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All

Currently if the user want to specify an italic character style s/he must use
choose "Emphasis". This is all you need for WP docs. But if you intend to make
a e-book you are likely to want to be more specific, because e-book readers may
treat the three types of italic differently (e.g. for narration purposes),
namely:

1. ITALIC : Used for non-English quotations
2. EMPHASIS: Used to emphasize a word or phrase
3. CITATION: Used to italicise the titles of creative works.

Suggestion: Simply make three different character styles available for italics.
They will look identical in WP documents but when converted to ebook would code
for the equivalent html tag.
