| Thanks for the report. This is not specific to emacs -nw.
| Relevant forms that tex-mode does understand are:
|
| $foo$
| \textit{foo}
| {\it foo}

hi,
here's the explanation .....
ideally, you could use
\usepackage{oz}
which gives exactly the result i'd like inside any $_math_scope_$
unfortunately, publishers (springer, elsevier,etc) as a rule don't
recognise oz and remove it, without compensating ... result ugly
you can do it the hard way ....
$\mathit{identifiername}$
or slightly less good
$\textit{identifiername}$
or (same)
${\it identifiername}$
or (lazy way)
$\it identifiername$
the last three of which give basically the same results, but
the last of which requires the least typing (if, like me, you're
a bit annoyed at not being able to have \usepackage{oz})
cheers,
richard.
ps. in ordinary emacs (i.e. not -nw) it doesn't try to underline
\it stuff, so the problem doesn't arise visually (in my installation)
