--[[========================================================================= Italicize a taxon name appropriately by invoking italicizeTaxonName. The algorithm used is:

  • If the name has italic markup at the start or the end, do nothing.
  • Else
 * Remove (internal) italic markup.
 * If the name is made up of four words and the third word is a
   botanical connecting term, de-italicize the connecting term and add italic
   markup to the outside of the name.
 * Else if the name is made up of three words and the second word is a
   botanical connecting term or a variant of "cf.", de-italicize the
   connecting term and add italic markup to the outside of the name.
 * Else just add italic markup to the outside of the name.
The module also:
* Ensures that the hybrid symbol, ×, and parentheses are not italicized
* Has an option to abbreviate all parts of taxon names other than the last
  to the first letter (e.g. "Pinus sylvestris var. sylvestris" becomes
  "P. s. var. sylvestris").
* Has an option to wikilink the italicized name to the input name.
