Format guide

suggestions in consideration of the designer's convenience ;-)

…for final import-ready docs
  • cleaned up as much as possible (whitespace, etc.)
  • rtf format preserving local formatting only (bold, italics, etc.)
  • and optionally, basic style indications (headings, subheadings, body text)
style/formatting guidelines
  • “double” + “smart/real” first-level quotes
  • italics for foreign words not in dictionary (standard practice)
  • numbers generally spelt out when the numerical data is not the focus, except for dates and other exceptions
  • punctuation inside the “quotes,” not “outside”. (choosing the aesthetic versus the logical option for punctuation)
  • citation styles - to be finalised………
