Purpose
The template is one of a number of configuration templates used by the automated taxobox system (see the detailed map of modules and templates).
It determines whether a taxon name should be italicized or not, given its rank and whether or not it is a virus. It is one of the templates that may need be updated if a new rank is added to the system.
Usage

{{Is italic taxon|species}}→ yes{{Is italic taxon|genus}}→ yes{{Is italic taxon|familia}}→ no{{Is italic taxon|familia|virus=yes}}→ yes{{Is italic taxon|strain|virus=yes}}→ no
