Just put a "[i.]" at the beginning of what you want italicized (without quote marks or period - but I had to include the period or the marking code would disappear and all you would see is the italics 
), and a "[/i]" at the end of what you want italicized. Then make sure you double check by reviewing your document with the "preview post" button below (next to "Add Reply" button) to make sure you haven't made any mistakes. Usually, I use italics if I don't use the dialogue tag "he thought" and single quote marks if I do. Just to be extra confusing. 
Thanks for the tip! I'm used to html, so trying to get me to change at this late date just resulted in something like
I figured, in the interest of laziness, I'd just use tags so that I wouldn't have to reformat when I send it over to the archive. /unless I am completely mistaken and archive files can have italics and bold text. If that's the case I'll go back and format it.

I'll go back and fix it later this evening as soon as I have time!
