Hi there!
Let’s say you have some line numbered prose. There is an italics passage that needs to extend over more than one line. Should the italics be terminated before the line number? It seems to me that the line numbers are understood to not be part of the text, and so you don’t need to terminate the italics before the line number. This seems analogous to not having to end italics passages before footnotes. Thoughts? And is this codified somewhere that I’m missing? Thanks!
The italic passage does NOT need to be terminated before the line numbers in line numbered prose.
No, it is not codified. The recent update clarified typeforms used across running heads, running footers, and page numbers. It is an oversight that line numbers in line numbered text were not included in the update.
This was a great question. Your thinking is absolutely correct.
