\description{
According to the binomial nomenclature, the lowest four taxonomic levels (family, genus, species, subspecies) should be printed in italic. This function finds taxonomic names within strings and makes them italic.
}
\details{
This function finds the taxonomic names and makes them italic based on the \link{microorganisms} data set.
The taxonomic names can be italicised using markdown (the default) by adding \code{*} before and after the taxonomic names, or using ANSI colours by adding \verb{\\033[3m} before and \verb{\\033[23m} after the taxonomic names. If multiple ANSI colours are not available, no conversion will occur.
This function also supports abbreviation of the genus if it is followed by a species, such as "E. coli" and "K. pneumoniae ozaenae".
The \link[=lifecycle]{lifecycle} of this function is \strong{maturing}. The unlying code of a maturing function has been roughed out, but finer details might still change. Since this function needs wider usage and more extensive testing, you are very welcome \href{https://github.com/msberends/AMR/issues}{to suggest changes at our repository} or \link[=AMR]{write us an email (see section 'Contact Us')}.
