Formal writing, scholarly citation: 'Given in italics' or 'given italics'?
Generally, regarding scholarly citation, I would say
As a general rule, any work that is published or produced under its own title is given in italics.
However, yesterday I found another version of this phrase, without 'in':
As a general rule, any work that is published or produced under its own title is given italics.
The second version is probably free of redundant word, but on the other side it's less clear to me (I'm not native speaker). Which version is better for formal writing?
Probably a better question: what's the difference between them?

I'm don't believe that the latter, "given italics", is correct. I would stick with the first sentence.
