Hi Denise,
If it's italicized, just leave it.

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
