[stylist] editing question

[Robert Leslie Newman]

Wow, if so --- putting thoughts in italics is the expected convention, then
--- well, I didn't get that from any of the books that I listened to, and
for those that I'm now starting to read in Braille, --- I'll have to watch
for that. Yeah, I've seen some Braille notation for italics, but didn't put
that "thought thing" together with what I was reading. (also, I tend to turn
off the features within JAWS that sends that sort of attributes'  to the
display. Yet, MMM, I could set JAWS voice to do a pitch change when it runs
across italics.)



Thanks for the heads-up.

Yes, I think it is supposed to be in italics.  I personally don't 
put thoughts in italics because I am a more informal writer, but 
technically, I think you are supposed to use italics for 
thoughts.

If someone is remembering a conversation, and they are 
remembering a direct
quote is that in  italics?

It is a thought, so that's how it works, right?

Thanks,
