Titles in quotation marks that include (or in unusual cases consist of) something that requires italicization for some other reason than being a title, e.g. a genus and species name, or a non-English phrase, or the name of a larger work being referred to, also use the needed italicization, inside the quotation marks: "Ferromagnetic Material in ...
Do not put quotations in italics. Quotation marks (or block quoting) alone are sufficient and the correct ways to denote quotations. Italics should only be used if the quoted material would otherwise call for italics. Use italics within quotations to reproduce emphasis that exists in the source material or to indicate the use of non-English words.
For titles of books, articles, poems, and so forth, use italics or quotation marks following the guidance for titles. Italics can also be added to mark up non-English terms (with the {} template), for an organism's scientific name, and to indicate a words-as-words usage.
Grandpa was in World War II, not "World War II". As for the italicized case, we don't use quotation marks and italics at the same time; "failing" to also use quotation marks with the (incorrectly) italicized #4 examples doesn't create any ambiguity, and adding them doesn't make the example any clearer, just twice as wrong.

A related issue is style in the titles of books or journal papers when reproduced in citations. For example, some biology books and papers correctly use italics for Latin species names in the text, but don't use italics for this purpose in the title, for whatever reason (perhaps because graphic designers don't seem to like bold italics).
Catalogues indicated by a name that is not an actual book title are not italicized. Articles about a set of works belonging to the same genre, by a single author or composer should not be italicized. Articles about a particular collected edition of a composer or author should be italicized. Abbreviations of italicized titles should also be ...
Bold text is stylistically offset from other text without conveying extra importance. The most common use of boldface is to highlight the article title, and often synonyms, in the lead section. Do not use bold text for emphasis. Use ''' to open and close bold text.
