How do you know if something should be italicized?
Italics are used primarily to denote titles and names of particular works or objects in order to allow that title or name to stand out from the surrounding sentence. Italics may also be used for emphasis in writing, but only rarely.
What should not be italicized?
Don't italicize the titles of songs, chapters in books, or poems. Instead, use quotations. For example, you could write: On the Drake album Views, I really like the song “Fire & Desire.” Don't italicize religious texts – i.e., the Torah or the Koran.
Which should be italicized?
Titles of full works like books or newspapers should be italicized. Titles of short works like poems, articles, short stories, or chapters should be put in quotation marks. Titles of books that form a larger body of work may be put in quotation marks if the name of the book series is italicized.
Should period be bolded?
No. The period following the word in bold should ideally be not bold, except when the entire sentence is in bold.
