Punctuation
Q. Have you dropped use of the printer’s rule? In the 15th edition, it appears that you do not italicize punctuation after italics, whether for titles or in running text. I can’t find a discussion of this point, and wondered if you could clarify how to set punctuation after italics. Thank you.
A. Indeed, this is a change from previous editions. Please see CMOS 6.3: “All punctuation marks should appear in the same font—roman or italic—as the main or surrounding text, except for punctuation that belongs to a title or an exclamation in a different font. This departure from Chicago’s former usage serves both simplicity and logic.”
