A colleague sent me a query the other day.
Hi Z, I am planning a session on the parts of a book, how chapter headers and summaries help, and what does being in boldface and italics mean for a reader. Do you have recommended sources?
Right away, I sent the books I use for such lessons with selected pages scanned and referenced. For the other topics that my colleague was looking for, I put together these web resources.
Here are links to websites that discuss the purpose of headers and summaries.In general, your query is leading to the topic on Formatting in Writing/Reading. I am recommending books on MLA, APA and CMS which we have in the library. If you need the information ASAP, visit the respective websites of each and you will get a good grasp of the standard for each style. In any case, here is a website that has presents and overview - https://saylordotorg.github.io/text_business-english-for- success/s18-01-formatting-a- research-paper.html As for your query of typography, it would signal what is important to the reader. A boldface shouts while an italic whispers. Kindly read on the roundup of links for a detailed discussion on each.See attached PDF for the purpose of italics and head on to this website on the 5 Functions of Italicization - https://www.brighthubeducation.com/ english-homework-help/31210- five-rules-of-italicization/ As for boldface here is what I gathered:
I enjoy getting such queries and putting them together. The resources and websites go to the pathfinders and curated collection I keep for the community. There may be another who will be in need of the same information.
