title_body: Can I use bold and italics tags?
upvoted_answer: I have never used Adobe Indesign, but I'm guessing that when they spit out html they use the italic and bold html tags. My guess is that in Adobe Indesign you are not seeing a separate font at all but a compound statement about font-style and font-family. 
  
  You can easily test this by outputting it epub/html and viewing the source.
