Italics

Where a whole sentence is italicized, it is considered good form to include the period. However, watch for italicized punctuation especially : and ;—here we respect the original i.e.

{{italic|ending;}} vs {{italic|ending}};

ending; vs ending;

{{italic}} for inline italics (within a paragraph). Whole paragraphs need to be italicised individually with this template. {{italic block}} spans more than one paragraph.

"That James Franklin ſhould no longer 
print the newſpaper entitled the {{italic|New-England 
Courant}}."

"That James Franklin ſhould no longer print the newſpaper entitled the New-England Courant."

{{italic|My brother's enlargement was accompanied 
with an arbitrary order from the houſe of 
aſſembly, "That James Franklin ſhould no longer 
print the newſpaper entitled the New-England 
Courant."}}

{{italic|In this conjuncture, we held a 
conſultation of our friends at the printing-houſe, in 
order to determine what was proper to be done.}}

Italicised dates etc.

Many typefaces found in older books used the same type for numbers in both regular text and italics or bold. For dates and similar phrases, format the entire phrase with one set of markup, rather than marking the words as italics (or bold) and not the numbers.

i.e.: 29 May 1876 in the scan should be proofread 29 May 1876

{{italic|29 May 1876}}

Italics in poems

{{ppoem|
{{drop initial|W}}HOSE is the speech
That moves the voices of this lonely beech?
Out of the long west did this wild wind come—
{{italic|O strong and silent!}} And the tree was dumb,
{{gap}}{{gap}}Ready and dumb, until
The dumb gale struck it on the darkened hill.

WHOSE is the speech

Ready and dumb, until
The dumb gale struck it on the darkened hill.

Italicized links

The italics markup must be outside the link markup, or the link will not work; however, internal italicization can be used in piped links.

Wiki idiosyncrasies

For font emphasis, use ''double apostrophes'' for italic and '''three apostrophes''' for '''bold'''

For font emphasis, use double apostrophes for italic and three apostrophes for bold

You can even do '''''bold''' within italic'' or '''bold with ''italic'''''

You can even do bold within italic or bold with italic This markup only applies within a text line and the OCR will automatically put a hard return at the end of each line. So if the text you want to format spans two lines, you will need to delete the hard return.

''This is one line (OCR puts a hard return here) 

and this is the next.''

This is one line (OCR puts a hard return here) and this is the next.

Delete hard return:

''This is one line and this is the next.''

This is one line (hard return deleted from here) and this is the next.

Italicized poetry will need each line italicized separately.

Italised single quotes need to be templated i.e.

''breakfast of the dogs{{'}}''

breakfast of the dogs'
