[Kelby Carlson]

I'd be up for helping with that. (Really, there should be a comprehensive guide not only for bluebooking, but for other things about formatting and legal writing. I've had to figure out most of it independently).

When I tried copying and pasting from the online version, formatting was preserved. You can then use screen reader commands to see the formats of the text.
