Italicisation for text fields in Janeway that do not currently allow this, e.g. news item titles #4097

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently there are certain fields in Janeway that do not support italicisation, such as titles for news items, news item preview text, and certain journal items such as the 'About' text block title, articles/items on the homepage carousel, and the automatic text above the license information on the submissions page.

Describe the solution you'd like
Either the ability to add italics with HTML italics tag or where instances of the journal's name is displayed that users cannot edit, that the journal's name displays in italics by default (and that this might be easy to revert if the journal doesn't want this - which is unlikely).

Additional context
Journal titles are displayed in italics by the majority of citation styles and so this would not in my view be contributing to the proliferation of styles. The inability to be able to italicise certain titles leads to inconsistency in editorial formatting which is not ideal. This also discourages using the journal's name in places where it should be used, leading to potential accessibility problems (e.g. journal's logo being used as image instead of journal title used as text).
