Dab italics

The Dab italics template is used to italicize the title portion of an article name, while leaving the parenthetical suffix alone. This can be used for books, newspapers, television series and other titles (other than albums or films) that should be italicized according to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (titles). There are separate templates available for album titles (Template:Dab album) and film titles (Template:Dab film).

The template takes two parameters: the title of the work and the parenthetical portion.
