Adding formatting to question wording?

[evolution]

I have a 12 item questionnaire setup with radio buttons for response. My issue is that a few of my question wordings require italics, and for the life of me, I can't figure out an easy way to do this.

Is my only option to drop the "<ml.wording>" component in my custom item and create 12 seperate items in which each question is entered into the .htm file so I can utilise html formatting?
