Is is possible to programmatically print formatted text (bold, underline, italics, etc) to the history area?
Apologies if I'm just missing a simple command.

I know I can change the appearance of the command history under Misc --> History Area --> Set Text Format.
Also I'm aware of the HistoryCarbonCopy option.
However, within a user function I'd like to print a message to the history with parts of it italicized.

Thanks in advance

No, sorry.

Is there any particular reason you need formatted text in the history area?

I more often write information directly to a Notebook (with proper commands) if I want formatted text generated programmatically. You may find that method of recording better (e.g. in a notebook called "History").

Cheers,
