Default How can I find paragraphs all in italics?

Is there a way to find single paragraphs where all the alphanumeric characters are in italics, but some of the space characters or punctuation signs within the same paragraphs might not be in italics themselves? Is this possible through a regex search?

A regex/wildcard expressions can't test font formats. You can include such parameters in a wildcard Find, but the parameter applies to the whole expression, not just parts of it. To do what you want, you would to test the format of every word in the paragraph, thus disregarding the punctuation.
