Screen's terminfo description lacks italics mode and has standout mode in its

place. To make applications aware that tmux supports italics, you'll need to
 | 
			
		||||
create a new terminfo file with modified smso, rmso, sitm and ritm entries:
 | 
			
		||||
place, but using the same escape sequence that urxvt uses for italics. This
 | 
			
		||||
means applications (like vim) looking for italics will not find it and might
 | 
			
		||||
turn to reverse in its place, while applications (like less) asking for

standout will end up with italics instead of reverse. To make applications
