I want to put one label of x axis with italics font with this code:

  scale_x_discrete(labels = c("factor1", "<i>factor2</i>"))+

But it doesn't work. Do I need to install some package? Is there an alternative way to do so?

  • To style your axis labels using HTML I would suggest to have a look at the `ggtext` package. See e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/a/69591775/12993861 – stefan Aug 27 '23 at 09:30

    Try: scale_x_discrete(labels = c("factor1", expression(italic("factor2")))) or for both: scale_x_discrete(labels = c(expression(italic("factor1")), expression(italic("factor2")))) – user330 Aug 27 '23 at 11:26

I would suggest to overwrite the labels as such:

scale_x_discrete(labels = c("factor1", "factor2" = expression(italic(factor2))))+
