Hi Denise,
Italics are only stripped from page numbers but not from any of the text or
other navigation. Sorry for the confusion!
Best,
Madeleine

Hi Ali,
I thought the italics were stripped upon submission? Did I misunderstand?
Thanks for clearing that up,
Denise

My experience is that you can usually tell from the context of the surrounding
text if a letter is beginning. if you keep the italics in tact, Braille users
will be able to see them right away, and those using screenereaders can check
the font and know it's italicised and thus that they are reading a letter.

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
