Step 1, read the text or parse it or tokenize it. Recognize the part that you want, then format it.
Your question is impossible to answer without some context. What exactly are you talking about? A Swing GUI? An Android application? Text in an RTF file? Please tell us the details and show some code.
And I have no idea what you're suggesting. Format it how?Quote:

So, then let me get this straight, you want to display text in a Swing GUI where a selected section of the text is italicized, correct?
If so, the easy way to do this is to use HTML markup language to change the font, but note that this won't work in all situations, and I believe for instance that it won't work on a JTextArea for instance. If you want a textarea type of text component, then you may wish to look into using a JTextPane or a JEditorPane. The tutorials will show you how to use them and their styled documents.
I was skipping some parts but eventually, he'd have to use swing. That's the only way that I know. As far as I know, printing to the console using System.out does not allow that.Quote:

Actually AWT, SWT among others could be used...For the how...Ask the experts. lol.
There are many ways how this can be done:
1) read the API for the Font class; it has italics versions of every possible font;
2) alternatively, use <html> tags for text components (e.g. JLabels);
3) use shearing on your Graphics device.
4) etc.?

JTextField does not support multiple fonts or attributes. You've already been told which text components are suitable for your requirement.Quote:
