Quick question for your typographic opinion:
If a title, which would normally be set in italics, is already set in italics for other stylistic reasons, would you:
A. set in a slightly heavier weight of said italics
B. put it in quotation makers
C. leave it as is, un-emphasisedthat is all.

put it in quotes would be my guess.

you set it regular/roman, which is standard

roman? really? so basically the reverse typographic style? ewwww.
- Totally depends on the typeface.set
- Yeah, that's how it's supposed to be done, but I'm sure you can break the rules if you're a good typesetter.monospaced
- not ewww, that’s the rule. but quotation marks would work, too.pressplay
- quotations marks won't work, they imply a quote or an article, but never the title, evermonospaced
- thanks for all of this, good stuffhorton
- A comma before and after the title, as well as the title having initial caps (or Titlecase) should suffice.Gnash
