The Disambiguation and redirection templates and Wikipedia page-section templates automatically provide the required italic formatting. Special section headings for appendices such as ==See also== are not in italics. A further type of cross-reference may occur within a paragraph of text, usually in parentheses (round brackets).
Sections usually consist of paragraphs of running prose, each dealing with a particular point or idea.

Additionally, flush-right alignment is used to set off special text in English, such as attributions to authors of quotes printed in books and magazines, or text associated with an image to its right. Flush right is often used when formatting tables of data. It is used to align text to the right margin; in this case, the left ends will be unequal.
