Hey Erica, sorry for the delay, Substack doesn't seem to be notifying me about new comments for some reason...

The italicised text is a quote from the previous reply. So when italicised text appears at the top of a comment, it's highlighting something the previous person said.

Medium's comment system formats it a little more clearly. This was the only way I could replicate it here.

If there's italicised text in the very first reply, it'll be a quote from the article the reader is replying to. I hope that's clear.
