Hi all,
I know thereâs been discussion lately on diary and journal entries and my take
away has been that if itâs intuitive, then leave it alone.
My question is this: I am a sighted reader. When I read a passage where, say,
the main character has received a letter, that letter verbiage is italicized to
set it apart from the rest of the text. This tells me this is the letter. How
do I treat that? Do I put in brackets before and after the passage identifying
the beginning and end? Or do I assume the screen reader or braille reader (the
human) will be able to tell itâs the letter.
I hope my question makes sense.
Thanks,
Denise
