FramScript or structured FrameMaker would be my guess. The former would probably engender less pain.

Ah: probably definitely FrameScript then.

And I'm not willing to do anything more than type a word in the working document for it to be recognized as needing italics. Although I have Silicon Prairie's Autotext add-on, I don't think that it does what I need.

No, you're right: although a wonderful timer-saver, it can't do that.
