@KRyan I've updated the post to mention those, but it looks like \textbf{\textit{{whatever}} doesn't nest — the inner textit gets interpreted as plaintext. I don't know what to put there instead so I've left \pmb in, as bad as it is.

Please don’t recommend math mode for text: use \textbf, \textit, or \emph for text formatting. \emph should be used when text is italicized for emphasis, and can be nested (\emph inside an already-italic section will make the \emph text not italic). \textit is for book titles, D&D spells, and other things italicized as a matter of formatting and not emphasis. Bold-italic should just be \textbf{\textit{whatever}}. \pmb, or “poor man’s bold,” is just a bad idea all around, and will often not give desirable results.

There are also the two commands \textbf{} and \textit{} for bold and italicised text in math mode respectively.
