You're welcome! It was nice meeting you, too, Brian! The manuscript isn't <i>all</i> codes; it has a lot of edits in it, too. Authors usually get to make sure they agree with the edits before the manuscript is sent to the comp. Hi, Gerard. You’re welcome!

It was nice meeting you, too, Brian! The manuscript isn’t all codes; it has a lot of edits in it, too. Authors usually get to make sure they agree with the edits before the manuscript is sent to the comp.

What is the writer expected to <strong>do</strong> with the copyedited manuscript if it contains typesetting codes? Do you return a copy merely FYI? (Okay, two questions.) (BTW, nice to meet you at WFC). Nice visuals, but one question? What is the writer expected to do with the copyedited manuscript if it contains typesetting codes? Do you return a copy merely FYI?

If the whole sentence is italicized, then yes, the punctuation following it is also italicized. If only the last word of a sentence is italicized, I do not italicize the following punctuation unless it belongs to that word as a unit (such as the name of a movie that contains a question mark or such) or unless house style dictates that I must. :-) Brandie: Sorry–I read your question too quickly and missed the last line.

The latest edition of <i>CMS</i> finally agrees with me, but some publishers still insist on the old way of handling it.
