In reality, a typeface's size is much more complicated than that. Font sizes are usually measured in \textbf{points}, the size of which has varied over the years. With digital printing, points are usually defined as being \nicefrac{1}{72} of an inch, or exactly $0.352\bar{7}$ millimeters. (I could go on at length about this, but I won't.

It other words, you need to distinguish between when you are emphasizing something (i.e., ``This is \textit{very} good cake.'') or merely when you are marking something as italic or bold as a convention, such as book and movie titles or vocabulary words (i.e., \textit{The Grapes of Wrath}, \textit{Star Wars}, ``\textbf{mitosis} is the process of cell division'', etc.). + +In \LaTeX{}, the command for emphasizing text is \verb|\emph{}|. This generally gets rendered as italic text, although not always. For example, the \textsf{beamer} document class renders it as red text, rather than italic text, as this work better in most presentations. (check this) + \section{Commands and Environments} \LaTeX{} has both modal commands that change \textit{all} the text following that command, and environments that change the text only within that environment.
