Italics auto formatting

When I type “/usr/local”, for example in Writer, it removes the “/” and replaces the text that follows with italics text formatting. Is there a way to turn this off?

  • It’s kind of AutoCorrect (Tools
    menu). Deselect options. (See screenshot.)

  • You also can “go back” with CTRL+Z,
    then your text is no more italic and
    the slashes will show again. - Cheers

Thanks, exactly what I needed to know as well.
Oops sorry , should have made this a comment.

Well, what stops you from doing that? You can also tick the :heavy_check_mark: mark below the Vote up or down control to inform the community that Grantier’s answer solved your question.

Really annoying this is enabled as default … for Linux users not very helpfull
