MATLAB: What is the “Title” syntax for 2 different font types in one title

Question

I have this as my title for a plot: title({'\it Myotis ciliolabrum – Western small-footed myotis'}); However, I would like everything to the right of the hyphen to be normal font as opposed to italics for the text to the left of the hyphen. How would I do this? Thanks in advance for the help.

Answer 1

title({'{\itMyotis ciliolabrum} - Western small-footed myotis'})

Alternately,

title({'\textit{Myotis ciliolabrum} - Western small-footed myotis'}, 'interpreter', 'latex')

apparently this form is recommended over {\it ...}
