[stylist] Format Questions

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Donna does point out another use of italics though, which is italicizing
certain titles like titles of books or newspapers, though nowadays,
newspapers tend to be underlined, but book titles are italicized along
with magazine titles.

Bridget,
I tend to use these sparingly. I never use bold in the body of a work
and I restrict italics to things like the names of books or publications
that show up in the text. My understanding is that people have gone a
bit overboard on these things. I also don't care for putting words in
all caps. Let the words themselves create the emphasis. Donna

There are a lot of ideas on the use of things like italics and bold
nowadays, and generally, most editors and publishers discourage using
either frequently.

Traditionally, italics should be used to indicate thoughts, however, if
a thought is followed by a "he or she thought," you do not use italics,
or you may use italics to emphasis a word or phrase. Punctuation
typically is not included in the italics or bolding for that matter.

The use of bold is usually to make something stand out more, like
chapter or section headings, or points on a bullet list, etc. I would
use bold less than italics if using it for reasons than bolding a title
or heading.

By references, what do you mean? Like a bibliography? If you want to
properly cite work, check out the OWL Purdue website or a writing style
guide book or Google MLA or whatever style you prefer.

questions
when you italicize or bold a phrase, do you also include the punctuation
connected to it?

In the references, how important is it to put the state of the
publisher?
