Both, perhaps.
Putting the "d" part of the "dx" in integral in roman (or sometimes
bold, I think) is often considered good typographical style. (A quick
glance at several of my textbooks indicate this is often ignored.
Shame on them.) But what about the "x" part? Should it match the
style of the variable in the rest of the integral?
