Species names should be able to be italicized in the minimum/maximum age justification text boxes. #48

This is more than just cosmetic, as it relates to rules for nomenclature. It will look strange to our users. This problem will apply to the Phylogenetic Justification text box as well. It seems like the species name is automatically italicized for "Fossil Used to Date this Node". Ideally we would have the ability to italicize in all text boxes.

I can't reproduce the problem. I just created some styled text in both these fields of my test calibration.

screen shot 2014-10-18 at 12 06 17 am It just requires a little HTML markup in the edit form, like so:

This explanation contains <b>styled</b> <i>text</i> in <strong>multiple</strong> <i>forms</i>.

I added a bullet list in the phylo. justification field. Any simple and valid HTML should work here! screen shot 2014-10-18 at 12 08 44 am

Does this address the issue?

text seems to work.
